On December 10, 2019, Maryland Smith hosted Stacks on Smith, a night for students to relax during finals week and enjoy a pancake breakfast. Launched in 2013 by the Dean’s Student Advisory Council (DSAC), Stacks on Smith began as a way to help promote community unity and establish new Smith School traditions. For students like Ned Engelbride ’20, a finance major, the event presents an ideal setting to interact with both peers and professors during a busy period in the semester. 

Smith School faculty and staff were clad in chef hats and “I Heart Smith Seniors” aprons for the Second Annual Smith Senior Pancake Night on Monday, Dec. 15, 2014. Van Munching Hall’s Executive Meeting Space was filled with seniors who were ready to dig in to the all-you-can-eat pancake menu, complete with an assortment of toppings. Smith seniors were enthusiastic to attend an event celebrating their successes as students. The delicious food and break from studying was an added bonus.

In the spirit of community and celebrating our awesome senior class, faculty and staff of the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business donned aprons and chef hats for the Inaugural Stacks on Smith Senior Pancake Night, Dec. 18, 2013. More than 200 hungry seniors filled Van Munching Hall’s Pownall Atrium, ready for a fun-filled dinner with their classmates. The menu was all-you-can-eat pancakes with an endless array of toppings and other scrumptious breakfast fare. 

As the 2013 calendar year comes to an end, the Smith School faculty and staff are celebrating our 2014 Senior Class with the Inaugural Senior Pancake Night: Stacks on Smith.  On Wednesday, December 18, the senior class will be treated to a pancake dinner, served by their favorite faculty. Outfitted in aprons and chef hats, Dean Triantis, Dean Mullins, Professor Basu, Professor Harms and many others will serve up pancakes and wish our students well as they head into final exams and the home stretch of their undergraduate studies.
