The Robert H. Smith School of Business and the University of Maryland welcomed tens of thousands of people to Explore Our World on Saturday, April 27, at the Fourth Annual Maryland Day celebration.
Van Munching Hall was buzzing with activity as visitors joined students, faculty, staff, and their families for a day of learning, exploration, and fun for the entire community. An InfoFair and Welcome Reception were held at the Van Munching Hall courtyard. This year, the Smith School spread its own tent on McKeldin Mall to attract even more visitors to Van Munching Hall for sessions on super-leadership, resume-writing, and the highly ranked undergraduate business program. This year's hottest session featured Chuck LaHaie's demonstration of the Netcentric Financial Markets Lab, attracting crowds of adults and students throughout the day.
Carole Geronimo of Waldwick, N.J. won the Smith School's raffle grand-prize: A Palm Pilot PDA, valued at $125.
Cathie Hadfield of Silver Spring, Md., received the second high-tech prize: A Creative WebCam, valued at $60.
Testudo made a premier appearance at Van Munching Hall to heighten the raffle prize drawing's excitement.
