Portfolio - Dingman Run Businesses
The Dingman Center has launched a number of businesses that are
operated by undergraduate and graduate Smith School students during their tenure
at the University. The Dingman Center provides guidance and support to these
young entrepreneurs in hopes that they continue to pursue an entrepreneurial
path once they leave campus.
The Smith Store
 The
Smith Store is dedicated to promoting the Smith brand and student
entrepreneurship. The business is split into two divisions: retail sales and
custom promotional product sales. Kevin Kirk, a junior logistics major, manages
retail sales while Esther Blinkoff, a junior accounting major, leads the custom
products sales team.
The Smith Store is entirely student-run and offers undergraduate students the
opportunity to learn new skills in an entrepreneurial business. All profits from
the operation go towards student scholarships, funding for the undergraduate
entrepreneur student club, the Maryland Undergraduate Society of Entrepreneurs
known as MUSE, or the Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship.
Currently, the store offers promotional Smith branded clothing and
accessories through a full-service website and school store. The Smith Store
also provides promotional product advice and sales support to Smith School
departmental customers as well as other departments within and outside the
University of Maryland at College Park.
Currently, the store offers promotional Smith-branded clothing and
accessories through a full-service Web site and school store located in 1407 Van
Munching Hall. To see the full line of merchandise available at The Smith Store,
