The University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business celebrated the accomplishments of full-time MBA students at the annual MBA End-of-Year Banquet on May 12, 2016, at the College Park Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. Students nominate their classmates and professors for the awards and a committee of students, faculty and administrators selects the recipients.
A highlight of the banquet is the “second-year superlative” section of the banquet program, where students have a chance to capture some of the memories, jokes and special characteristics relating to each classmate.
Congratulations to the award recipients!
