Connecting education and entrepreneurship at institutions of higher learning is practiced at many colleges and universities around the United States. Common to all of these programs is the exceptional leadership of the visionaries which guide, develop and nurture their programs and participants. Continuing this focus on education and entrepreneurship, Biz Talk With Josh Host, Joshua Smith was excited about featuring another truly exceptional and internationally acclaimed educator, visionary, author, and activist who has spent most of his professional life helping to shape the minds of future scholars from underrepresented groups in the fields of science and engineering. In addition, our guest, Dr. Freeman H. Hrabowski, III also recognizes the critical links between education and economic development in the communities in which his students live and work, and has implemented programs at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) to address these areas. Dr. Hrabowski has served as President of UMBC (The University of Maryland, Baltimore County) since May, 1992. His research and publications focus on science and math education, with special emphasis on minority participation and performance. He currently chairs the National Academies’ Committee on Underrepresented Groups and the Science & Engineering Workforce Pipeline. In 2008, he was named one of America’s Best Leaders by U.S. News & World Report, which in 2009 ranked UMBC the #1 “Up and Coming” university in the nation and fourth among all colleges and universities in the nation for commitment to undergraduate teaching. In 2009, Time magazine named him one of America’s 10 Best College Presidents. Today's Biz Talk With Josh is a rebroadcast of the original episode from Tuesday January 12 on CBS Radio/Big Talker 1580.
