    <div class="html-content"><div><div>Please join us in celebrating UMBC's class of 2020, especially our 
    graduate and undergraduate student workers!  Their dedication, support
     and warmth as they worked with students, faculty, staff and visitors 
    seeking disability-related information and support are poised to go next-level as they carry 
    forward UMBC's vision of inclusive excellence in their future endeavors.
     <br></div><div><br></div><div>We celebrate ALL graduates -  finishing with grit and heading for greatness! The messages of persevering and reflection from the valedictorians today, were followed by Dr. Hrabowski's encouragement that our grads have done well already, you're going to be okay - inspire us all.  As new UMBC alumni bring their light to the world's challenges, that energy becomes the rising tide that raises all ships.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Whether
     you used Disability Services as a support, or kept our information 
    available as a resource for the temporarily-abled, we look forward to 
    seeing what greatness emerges as you hold fast to your dreams and make 
    them come true!<br></div><br><div><div>Best wishes from all of us at Accessibility &amp; Disability Services</div></div><br></div></div>
