<Title>UMBC Celebrates Present, Future During Fall Opening Meeting</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>At the Fall Opening Meeting on Thursday, August 22, President Freeman Hrabowski and Provost Philip Rous celebrated the present and future of UMBC.</p>
    <p>Hrabowski outlined recent university achievements during his annual State of the University address.</p>
    <p>“We are increasingly known as a national model of inclusive excellence and innovation in American higher education,” he said. “We have built strength in research across the disciplines.  We can take great pride in knowing that the rest of the nation is beginning to understand what we already know – that we are a very special place.”</p>
    <p>The full text of his speech can be read <a href="http://president.umbc.edu/state-of-the-university-2013/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a>.</p>
    <p>Rous discussed the UMBC strategic planning process, entitled “<a href="http://planning.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Our UMBC: A Strategic Plan for Advancing Excellence</a>.”</p>
    <p>“This is an incredible time of opportunity for ourselves and UMBC,” he said. “We are standing at a threshold where we can extend our vision for the University.” Rous also emphasized that there will be opportunities for campus involvement as the plan is being created. More information can be found at <a href="planning.umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">planning.umbc.edu</a>.</p>
    <p>Speakers at the Fall Opening Meeting also included incoming freshman Evan Leiter-Mason, a Sondheim Scholar majoring in economics and political science; incoming transfer student Sophia Venero, who will be majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies with a minor in biological science; and incoming graduate student Adegboyega “Ade” Akinsiku, who will be studying in the Human-Centered Computing program.</p>
