A MESSAGE TO THE UMBC

Class of 2021

FROM PRESIDENT HRABOWSKI

Dear Class of 2021,
This is a moment of celebration for you and your families. That you have
completed the requirements for your degrees during this challenging time
demonstrates your grit, determination, and tenacity. While it is unfortunate
we cannot be together in person at the moment, I want you to know how
proud we all are of you. The challenges you have withstood getting to
this point only deepen the mark you will leave on this institution and our
shared history. I challenge you to take time in the days and weeks ahead to
reflect on the academic journey that brought you to this point, and on all
the people who provided you with support and encouragement. You have
reached an important milestone, and the dreams and values that have
guided you will sustain you in the years ahead.
Congratulations, Class of 2021. You have inspired us, and you have helped
us keep hope alive. Please stay in touch.
Sincerely,

Freeman A. Hrabowski, III
