Over 1,100 students crossed the stage at the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena this week at Commencement to take their place as the newest members of UMBC’s alumni community. The Class of 2024 inspired and amazed us during their time at UMBC.
“Believing you have the ability to impact the world around you is the first step in developing a freedom mindset,” said Khadijah Z. Ali-Coleman ’95, interdisciplinary studies, speaking to this year’s graduates. “Your education at UMBC has most likely supported this journey towards having a freedom mindset, and you may not have fully realized that yet.”
In his first Commencement address, UMBC Provost Manfred H. M. van Dulmen charged the new graduates to take some time to think about how they got here.
Congrats to our 2024 Fall UMBC Men’s Soccer Graduates
