Beginning in January 2022, the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business is launching the Blockchain Business Imperative, a six-week synchronous online certificate program on blockchain technology and its potential economic impact across industries.

As courses convene for the new academic year, Maryland Smith is welcoming eight new scholars to its faculty. Tejwansh (Tej) Anand is joining the decision, operations and information technologies department as a clinical professor. Anand earned a PhD from Columbia University.
