The Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship has been renamed the Dingman-Lamone Center for Entrepreneurship, honoring founder and former Smith School Dean Rudolph P. Lamone. A $3.8 million gift will expand its support for inclusive entrepreneurship, student ventures, and alumni businesses.

Smith School faculty and students are dedicated to making a community impact, providing free forensic accounting for fraud victims, supporting small businesses, and offering business and entrepreneurship education to high school students in Prince George’s County, Maryland.

The University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business has named Michael Hoffmeyer as Managing Director of its Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship.
