Office of Advancement

The Robert H. Smith School of Business provides a transformational and interdisciplinary experience that unleashes student creativity, empowering the leaders of tomorrow to build a prosperous future for all. We are guided by Dean Prabhudev Konana’s bold vision for the future. We are investing in the modernization of our infrastructure to create exceptional learning environments where innovation and excellence can thrive. We are committed to expanding scholarships and fellowships that open doors, break down barriers and empower our students to pursue their ambitions with confidence. We are strengthening the programs of distinction that define our identity, elevate our impact, and fuel innovation. And through the Dean’s Strategic Fund, we are strengthening the essential foundation that will propel growth and transformation. 

With your investment, we will build a stronger Smith School—and shape a brighter future for all who are part of our community.
