Smith Hall

The Williams College of Business has taken its place among the nation's most dynamic business schools. A series of innovative and successful initiatives have contributed to dramatic increases in corporate interaction, national visibility and prominence, and enrollment. To sustain this considerable momentum, the Hoff Academic Quad includes a new facility to better serve the college's expanding needs.

The new home of the Williams College of Business is named for Stephen and Dolores Smith. As a student, Stephen Smith learned there was more to business than making money - that morals and ethics were equally as important. These principles, instilled in him by the Jesuits, guided him throughout his career in the investment industry. In return, the 1968 graduate has guided Xavier as a member of the Board of Trustees and helped keep Xavier at the forefront of excellence in business education.
