On Friday, November 16th the University of Maryland, Smith School of Business Assistant Dean Greg Hanifee visited HSBC Business School. The visit was the first step in forging a formal agreement between the two schools, and demonstrated PHBS’ interest in expanding its academic cooperation efforts with schools overseas.
 
Greg Hanifee is the Assistant Dean of the Office of Executive Programs at the University Of Maryland Smith School Of Business. UMD Smith is an internationally-ranked business school with both Executive and Master’s-level academic programs. The school, like many other U.S.-based institutions, is looking to expand collaboration with Chinese graduate schools. Assistant Dean Hanifee visited the PHBS campus in order to discuss the potential for future cooperation between UMD and PHBS.

During his day-long visit, Assistant Dean Hanifee met with representatives from both the EMBA Office and the Full-Time Master’s Program. The schools touched on several opportunities for academic cooperation, ranging from Dual-Master programs to student and faculty exchange agreements. PHBS Executive Associate Dean Vincent Chang reiterated PHBS’ interest in hosting UMD students on campus, and in strengthening ties with UMD in general. Cooperation between the two schools represents another step in HSBC Business School’s internationalization.
