Welcome to the newest Alumni Chapter Board and Young Alumni Council members!

The Robert H. Smith School of Business Alumni Chapter Board (ACB) is an advisory board to the Office of Alumni Relations which advocates on behalf of Smith School alumni. ACB members are ambassadors who promote the school to the greater alumni community and carry out the board's mission and strategic plan.

The Maryland Smith Young Alumni Council works to guide the development of young alumni programming in order to strengthen the connection between the school and young alumni. The council provides strategic direction on the transition from student to alumni and keeps new graduates engaged with the Smith School of Business by assisting in the development of focused events and programming to meet the needs of the young alumni population.

On November 2, we will once again celebrate the annual Smith Day - a day celebrating the strong community of alumni, faculty, staff, and students. Members of the Smith Community will gather around the world to celebrate their pride in being Smith Terps. 

We are looking for alumni to assist with organizing in-person or virtual gatherings (e.g., coffee or lunch meet-up, workplace gatherings, happy hour, etc.). If you are a member of the Smith School's alumni, student, faculty, or staff communities and you can help motivate your network of Smith Terps to share their Smith pride, consider volunteering to be a Smith Day Ambassador! The role is simple, flexible, and fun. 

Last year, alumni at Booz Allen had an in-person breakfast event with the Dean, alumni at Marriott International hosted a virtual Trivia event, the Young Alumni Council held a Virtual Escape Room, and alumni in various cities hosted in-person happy hours. The possibilities are endless. Volunteer today to be a Smith Day Ambassador to help organize Smith Day celebrations in your town or at your employer.

University of Maryland's Smith School of Business has recently formed the Office of Alumni & Corporate Engagement. Our goal is to strengthen ties with our greater Smith community in order to give our students top-tier access to experiential learning opportunities, mentorship / engagement within our community, access to internships and full-time roles, and promote executive education. 

As we strive to accomplish these goals, we are hosting Summer Alumni Happy Hours in Seattle and Miami with those in our community. Register Today for Summer Alumni Happy Hours.
