American Higher Education at the Crossroads: Reflections on Access and Student Success in the Past 60 years
Freeman A. Hrabowski, III, President, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic took hold, rapid and dramatic demographic and technological changes presented our nation’s colleges and universities with enormous challenges in educating students and preparing them for successful careers. In this lecture, President Hrabowski will discuss trends related to access to higher education and the success of students from all backgrounds, and he will emphasize lessons learned over a career in academic leadership, including three decades as UMBC's President. He will trace his development as an educator to his childhood experiences, including participating as a child leader in the Civil Rights Movement, and he will discuss best practices for creating a culture of inclusive excellence, academic innovation, and shared leadership.
