If you are looking for an opportunity to recharge this semester, have found yourself in a difficult position during the pandemic, or would like to join a group and have a laugh, please join us! We are very looking forward to seeing you and reconnect. Everyone is invited to attend! Dr. Hrabowski has been talking about leadership skills and career paths for graduate students with this group for years and we appreciate his time. This conversation has always included a Q&A for students to connect with the campus president and share their points of view.

Dr. Hrabowski has been the president of UMBC since 1992. "At age 12, Freeman Hrabowski marched with Martin Luther King. In his 20+ years as an educator, he has work to create an environment that helps underrepresented students, specifically African-American, Latino, and low-income learners, get degrees in Math and Science."

Named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by the TIME (2012) and one of America's Best Leaders by U.S. News & World Report (2008), he also received TIAA-CREF's Theodore M. Hesburgh Award for Leadership Excellence (2011), and the Heinz Award (2012) for contributions to improving the "Human Condition." UMBC has been recognized as a model for inclusive excellence by such publications as U.S. News, which the past eight years have recognized UMBC as a national leader in academic innovation and undergraduate teaching.
