About this Event
Join us to celebrate Jim Smart's retirement from the University of Miami after 32 years of dedicated service.
Jim has shown an unwavering commitment to making our campus feel like home for countless students and members of the University community.
In addition to leading HRL for most of his time at the University, Jim also served as the Director of the Toppel Career Center from 2001 to 2009 where he saw first-hand how the work we do in Student Affairs contributes to student success beyond graduation. Today, he continues to challenge his staff to learn new skills and try new ways to improve programs, services, and facilities. His leadership has helped focus HRL’s work on community-building and student engagement.
Considered by countless students and administrators as a significant mentor, Jim is an exemplary leader who consistently helps others work through challenging projects and issues, shares differing points of view, and invites others who face similar challenges to the table.
His forward-thinking emphasis on meeting the needs and expectations of future generations of resident students has proved to be an invaluable asset as the University moves forward with implementing its Housing Facilities Strategic plan.
