4th Annual MBA Awards Banquet

The University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business community came together to celebrate the achievements of full-time MBA students at the 4th Annual MBA End-of-the-Year Banquet on May 14, 2015, held at the College Park Marriott Hotel and Conference Center.

Students appreciated the chance to mingle with their peers, as well as interact with their professors outside the classroom. The banquet is a chance for the Smith community to come together and celebrate the accomplishments of not only our spring MBA graduates, but also all of our MBA students, faculty and staff who have shown such dedication over the past year.
