Hrabowski will present “The Empowered University: Shared Leadership in Challenging Times,” an examination of “how university communities can support academic success by cultivating an empowering institutional culture.” Hrabowski and Jones will relate their own educational experiences as scholars and higher education leaders, the state of higher education today, increasing access to education and the responsibility of training the next generation of world leaders.
Accompanying the live event will be a virtual book-signing. Signed copies of Hrabowski’s book, “The Empowered University: Shared Leadership, Culture Change, and Academic Success,” co-authored with Peter Henderson and Philip Rous, are available through the University of Maryland, Baltimore County Bookstore at this link. Proceeds from event book sales will help provide scholarships for UMBC students.
