The primary mode of communication within the Smith community is email.
In an effort to streamline the number of email messages and announcements that students receive, the Masters Program Office (MPO) and Office of Career Services (OCS) have created the below email accounts. The intention is to make it easier for students to recognize and prioritize emails so students can read those with the most importance first.
Masters Programs Office (MPO):
Messages directly from the Masters Programs Office that contain important information related to administrative issues impacting your academic program such as registration instructions and deadlines, graduation instructions and deadlines, financial aid reminders, schedule changes, etc. Weekly scheduled emails from the MPO will also include 'Save the Date" or RSVP links for MPO sponsored (or supported) events such as community lunch/dinner; feedback lunch/dinner; roundtables; day trips, training opportunities and annual events, etc.
Office of Career Services (OCS):
Messages directly from the OCS that contain information related to the programs and services provided by the OCS.
Smith Announcements:
Announcements from sources external to the MPO or OCS. These may include social activities, speaker announcements, or other general items of interest to MBA/Business Master's students. In most cases notices and announcements sent via a Smith Announcement email will not be repeated via a separate MPO scheduled weekly email but may be repeated via a student association email.
MBA and Business Master's Program Student Associations:
Student Associations such as the MBA Association "MBAA", The Flex Part-Time MBA Association "PTMBAA" or the Smith Master Student Association "SMSA" will announce a variety of student group related events both academic (i.e., case competitions, speaker events, etc.) and extracurricular (i.e., sporting events, happy hours, etc.) sponsored (or supported) by the association(s).
University of Maryland Graduate Students may also receive emails sent to all graduate students from campus affiliates such as the Graduate School, the Department of Transportation (parking and traffic issues, etc.) and Graduate Student Services.
