Congratulations to Dr. Freeman Hrabowski, president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, who was recently named one of the nation’s “10 Best College Presidents” by Time magazine. Dr. Hrabowski and UMBC have become nationally recognized for steering African-American students toward science, math and engineering — fields in which they have been traditionally under-represented. UMBC is one of the nation's leading sources of African-American Ph.D.s in science and engineering, and almost half of its seniors go immediately to graduate school. He has authored numerous articles and co-authored two books, Beating the Odds and Overcoming the Odds (Oxford University Press), focusing on parenting and high-achieving African American males and females in science.
