A Changemaker Campus

In 2008, the Smith School was selected as an inaugural "Changemaker Campus," in partnership with Ashoka, a global association of leading social entrepreneurs. 

Together with partner campuses across the country, the center is pursuing leadership and excellence in social entrepreneurship education, with the goal of transforming universities into hubs of social innovation and producers of generations of social entrepreneurs and changemakers.

Faculty and staff from the Smith School—with students from across the University of Maryland campus—are spearheading the effort, building on the school’s leadership in programs and research that encourage the creation of social value and socially responsible business practices.
