Celebrating Transformational Investment at the Second Annual “Investing in Excellence” Event
The Smith School’s Investing in Excellence event honored scholarship donors and recipients, highlighting record enrollment and more than $6 million awarded. Speakers said philanthropy expands opportunity, builds community and shapes futures for students and alumni across generations.
Inspiration on Display
There’s a new gallery of 16 LED screens lining a prominent hallway on the first floor of Van Munching Hall, showing off some of the Smith School’s most illustrious alumni. The vertical screens rotate through photos and short bios of dozens of impressive graduates, donors and school champions. The entire display can also be quickly adapted to highlight specific groups — for example, individuals in specific industries, or graduates of a particular program.
The Smith School spirit is heading to Baltimore, and you’re invited! On March 4, join your fellow Baltimore-based Smith alumni for a high-energy Watch Party as the Terps take on the Wisconsin Badgers. This isn’t just a game—it’s an opportunity to reconnect with the local Smith network and other Terps in the neighborhood.
