Maryland Smith MBAs can all agree, the people set Smith apart from other MBA programs. On Nov. 14, 2016, the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business hosted the annual one-day event, “Kaleidoscope: Advancing Diversity at Smith,” for prospective MBA students. Prospective students from around the country with a variety of professional backgrounds and cultures visited Van Munching Hall to immerse themselves in a typical day-in-the-life of a Smith student, beginning with a reception dinner.

On Saturday, Dec. 1, 2007, the Smith School hosted its Sixth Annual Kaleidoscope: Women & Diversity at Smith event. Kaleidoscope provided a unique opportunity to expose prospective members of underrepresented groups to the rich diversity of the Smith MBA community and culture, and experience at large. The event was co-hosted by the school's Black MBA Association, the Hispanic MBA Association, the Smith Association of Women MBAs, and the Smith Pride Alliance.
