Lights, Camera, More Action in Maryland
By Sala Levin ’10 When the producers of HBO’s political satire “Veep” needed to send scheming, spineless protagonist Selina Meyer and her bumbling aides to the sleek headquarters of a tech company, they didn’t fly Julia Louis-Dreyfus and the rest of the cast to Silicon Valley. Instead, they looked no farther than the University of Maryland campus, a short trip from their usual Baltimore shooting location, where the Physical Sciences Complex stood in for the imaginary startup Clovis.
Alum at the Center of a ‘Barbie’ World
By Karen Shih ’09 She might be just under a foot tall (in heels!), but Barbie looms large this summer. Her spotless, plastic, bright-pink aesthetic is inescapable as “Barbie” movie promotions have gone viral. Want to float on the classic cursive “B” in the pool? You got it. Live out childhood fantasies in a Malibu DreamHouse? Ken (and Airbnb) are ready to host you. Eat like Barbie—if she could? Treat yourself to a sparkly fro-yo concoction. And that’s all before the film comes out this Friday.
How Alumni Are Helping Smith Students Get Jobs
More Smith alumni are giving back to help current students get jobs, thanks to new efforts from the Office of Career Services and the newly launched Office of Experiential Learning.
Women Inspire will showcase Maryland Smith’s fearless alumnae leaders excelling in business. This annual event will celebrate female empowerment that inspires attendees and challenges them to realize and reach their full potential.
The 2023 Women Inspire Honoree will be Maryland Smith alumna Janice deGarmo, MBA ’07, Director of the Office of Management Strategy & Solutions at the U.S. Department of State.

Smith Brokers A Connection That Furthers the National Defense Strategy
The U.S. National Defense Strategy released this past October emphasizes a strong need to accelerate the Pentagon’s ability to deploy emerging and disruptive technologies vital to America’s military superiority over advanced competitors. At the Smith School, a unique mentorship is helping make this goal a reality.
Lisa Kidd Hunt didn’t exactly leave Smith after graduating with her bachelor’s degree in finance. Not in a Matthew Mcconaughey à la “Dazed & Confused” kind of way, but she’s the kind of person who sticks around, cultivating the relationships and roots she’s planted. She’s a football season ticket holder, she’s served as a commencement speaker and as a board member, and she continues to stay involved, partly because, as she puts it, she’s “jealous” of how much Smith students get out of their education these days.
