Endicott College and President Bryan Cain are featured in a recent Boston Business Journal article examining how colleges and universities are leveraging hospitality and conference operations to diversify revenue while advancing their educational missions.
The story highlights Endicott’s long-standing investment in properties including the Wylie Inn and Conference Center, Tupper Manor, and Misselwood, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, and how those mission-driven enterprises generate millions of dollars annually to support the student experience.
In fiscal year 2024–25 alone, the Wylie Inn welcomed approximately 27,000 guests, sold 18,500 room nights, and generated more than $8.4 million in direct revenue. Combined with nearly $3 million in revenue from Misselwood, the College nets an estimated $4–5 million annually to reinvest in scholarships, campus improvements, and experiential learning opportunities.
President Cain also discusses the College’s recent renovations to the Wylie Inn, including the opening of Doc’s Bar in honor of the late former President Richard “Doc” E. Wylie, as well as the role hospitality plays in keeping costs competitive and the unique internship opportunities these operations provide for Endicott students.
