Quote:
Freeman is one of the rare figures who has single-handedly turned around a major institution," says Anthony Marx, president of Amherst College. "Along the way, he has taught all of higher education that minority and low-income students can and should be held to the highest standards, and can meet those standards and excel.

Thank you from me as well. As a native Washingtonian who grew up in the Maryland suburbs, I have watched UMd-CP change over the years from a perceived "warm body = admittance" institution to a highly respected top tier University.

Even more exciting is watching how the perception and reality of UMBC has changed.

He was one reason I wanted my D to apply to UMBC last year. I thought he was doing very good things at the school.
