UPDATE: 2/28/17
Dear Graduate Student Community,
Dr. Hrabowski was suddenly asked to attend a state meeting with legislators at a time that conflicts with this event. We will have to cancel the activity. He apologizes, and his office will try to find another time for him to connect with graduate students. We will provide you with updates as soon as we have a new opportunity for you.
Kind regards,
Renetta Tull, Ph.D.
Associate Vice Provost for Graduate Student Development & Postdoctoral Affairs

In 2003, the first year of programming for the PROMISE AGEP, a UMBC Public Policy graduate student named Robert Alexander asked if PROMISE could sponsor a “town hall” type of seminar with UMBC’s President, Dr. Freeman Hrabowski. That conversation birthed the concept of an annual seminar for graduate students that would feature the university’s president. Dr. Robert Alexander is now part of the Health & Analytics Business Unit at Battelle, after spending nearly 10 years in his first dream job in Health Communications at the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Similarly, after more than 10 years, Dr. Freeman Hrabowski is the Chair of the U.S. President’s Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for African Americans, and has received numerous recognition from media outlets such as TIME, US News & World Report, PBS (“Charlie Rose,” “Tavis Smiley”), and CBS (“60 Minutes.”). The president continues to make time in his schedule to address graduate students. Dr. Hrabowski has been having his spring semester conversation with graduate students at UMBC since 2004.
