\"new<\/a>The University of Maryland recently announced that it has appointed Alexander J. Triantis<\/strong><\/a> as dean of the Robert H. Smith School of Business<\/strong>. Triantis, who has been with the Smith School for 17 years and is currently a professor of finance, succeeds G. \u201cAnand\u201d Anandalingam<\/strong> and assumes his new role Sept. 1, 2013.<\/p>\n

Dean Triantis will build on the Smith School\u2019s advances in student experience, alumni engagement, and connections with business leaders, policymakers and the media. The Smith School\u2019s MBA program is currently recognized as No. 24 among business schools nationwide in the most recent Bloomberg BusinessWeek rankings \u2014 which also rated the school No. 2 in student satisfaction, career services and teaching.<\/p>\n

Triantis joined the Smith School faculty in 1996 and served as chair of the department of finance from 2006-2011. Under his leadership, the Smith School launched a master\u2019s degree program in finance, innovative undergraduate fellows programs, and the groundbreaking Center for Financial Policy, which connects faculty with Washington policymakers to leverage the impact of faculty research on important financial policy issues.<\/p>\n

Prior to joining the Smith School, he was an assistant and associate professor at the University of Wisconsin<\/strong> and a visiting scholar at the MIT Sloan School of Management<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very honored to be appointed to this role,\u201d says Triantis. \u201cThe Smith School already has strong momentum with exceptional faculty intellectual capital, leading centers of excellence, and diverse, creative and entrepreneurial students. I\u2019m excited to have the opportunity to work in a new way with Smith\u2019s outstanding community of faculty, students, alumni and staff to help the school reach its full potential as a world leader in business education.\u201d<\/p>\n
