INVEST IN THE
ROBERT H. SMITH
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
It’s our Silver Jubilee, and we’re celebrating 25 years of Robert H. Smith’s transformative philanthropic
support to make this business school a place where leaders are made. Smith graduates go on to
revolutionize not just business, but also technology and public policy. Their work often leads to
addressing and solving society’s greatest challenges.
As we mark the anniversary of becoming the Robert H. Smith School of Business, we celebrate
Mr. Smith, the Robert H. Smith Family Foundation and others who are making a difference for the
school. And we ask for your support.
You can make your mark at the Smith School. Give your time to support students through experiential
learning projects or as a guest speaker in the classroom. Recruit new students, hire graduates, or work
with current students to help them land the jobs they want. We also invite you to make a philanthropic
investment to support our students, faculty and programs.
We are grateful for your help as we continue our mission and strive for greatness—for the next
25 years and beyond.
The difference Smith has made in my life inspires
me to touch other lives by giving my time, talent
and treasure. In 1969, I enrolled in the Doctor of
Business Administration program and became a
full-time faculty member. I owe my successful
business career to my DBA and teaching experience.
