Smith Brand Hub
Since 1919, Smith School of Business has been renowned for its excellence, innovation, and leadership in business education and research.
On October 1, 2015, in recognition of the generous gift of $50 million from Queen’s alumnus Stephen Smith, the School adopted a new name — The Stephen J.R. Smith School of Business at Queen’s University.
