  • EP170: Dr. Freeman Hrabowski III on Leadership, Student Success & the Future of Higher Education

    EP170: Dr. Freeman Hrabowski III on Leadership, Student Success & the Future of Higher Education
    Oct 22 2026
    Tune in as Dr. Mordecai Brownlee sits down with Dr. Freeman Hrabowski III, President Emeritus of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), for a powerful conversation on leadership, integrity, student success, and the responsibility of higher education to lift others. Drawing from 30 years as president of UMBC and a life shaped by education, faith, and his childhood involvement in the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. Hrabowski reflects on the principles that have guided his leadership. He shares why humility becomes even more important as leaders rise, why admitting mistakes builds trust, and why character is defined just as much by who you are when no one is watching. Dr. Hrabowski also challenges higher education leaders to make difficult, mission-driven decisions about where institutions invest their resources and how they define excellence. He reflects on lessons from UMBC's nationally recognized work preparing students in science and engineering, including why universities must go beyond awarding degrees to helping students build careers, develop strong networks, and access meaningful employment. At its core, this conversation reminds us that leadership is not about titles or recognition. It is about continuing to learn, remaining grounded in purpose, and using your influence to help others see what is possible for their lives. KEY POINTS: Dr. Freeman Hrabowski's lifelong mission to help others through education and leadership Why humility and lifelong learning are essential at every level of leadership How integrity, honesty, and admitting mistakes build trust Higher education's responsibility to develop leaders of character and service Why mission-driven leadership requires choosing focused excellence over doing everything Keeping students, especially the most vulnerable, at the center of higher education The importance of asking good questions and challenging what previous generations believed Why universities must better prepare students for careers, mentorship, and meaningful employment Dr. Hrabowski's mission to care for people, remain authentic, and never give up QUOTABLES: "The more you learn, the more you realize there's so much more to know. Don't ever think you have arrived or that you know it all." – Dr. Freeman Hrabowski III "The future of higher education has to be inextricably tied to the future of humanity." – Dr. Freeman Hrabowski III "Universities need to feel more responsible for making sure their graduates get a good job, because everybody doesn't have a trust fund." – Dr. Freeman Hrabowski III GUEST RESOURCES: Dr. Freeman Hrabowski III President emeritus, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/The-EDU-Ledger X/Twitter: https://x.com/TheEDULedger Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheEDULedger Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheEDULedger Threads: https://www.threads.com/@TheEDULedger Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/TheEDULedger.bsky.social WATCH THIS VIDEO AND OTHERS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@TheEDULedger Transcription is available in the video for this episode.

The discussion reflects on Hellyer's unexpected journey from accounting to higher education leadership and how preparation, calculated risk, and a willingness to say yes shaped her career.

The chat also explores how San Jacinto College works directly with industry to redesign programs around real workforce needs, including its expansion into biotechnology and strategically selected applied bachelor's degrees. Hellyer also discusses creating a culture of belonging for students and employees, approaching artificial intelligence without sacrificing human judgment and critical thinking, and why staying relevant means making sure your institution has a seat at the table when decisions about the future of your community are being made.

    Aug 13 2026
    Can HBCUs Lead the AI Revolution? Dr. Anthony Graham, Chancellor, UAPB To watch on our YouTube channel, click here. In this episode of In The Margins, we sit down with Dr. Anthony Graham, Chancellor of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB), to explore how leadership, innovation, and purpose-driven strategy can transform not just an institution, but an entire region. Drawing from his foundation as a classroom teacher, Graham shares how his leadership is rooted in relationships, data-informed decision-making, and a commitment to developing the whole student. He unpacks UAPB's bold vision to become a nationally recognized, preeminent land-grant institution, serving as a catalyst for talent development, innovation, and economic renewal across the Arkansas Delta. The conversation, with The EDU Ledger host Ralph Newell, dives into the university's approach to artificial intelligence, workforce readiness, and research, highlighting initiatives like the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics (CAIDA) and groundbreaking work in aquaculture and agriculture. Graham also outlines what it takes to achieve Carnegie R2 designation, including difficult institutional decisions, program alignment, and a shift toward transdisciplinary, problem-focused research. At its core, this episode is about redefining student success, embracing change in higher education, and building systems that prepare students to lead, solve problems, and drive economic impact. KEY POINTS: Graham's leadership philosophy rooted in teaching, relationships, and data Why leaders must enter institutions as learners, not with preconceived models AI as a tool, and why problem literacy matters more than technical skills The push to demystify AI and build data-informed cultures through CAIDA What it takes to reach Carnegie R2: research investment, doctoral output, and alignment Why institutions must make hard decisions about outdated academic programs The shift toward "braided funding" and less reliance on federal dollars Redefining student success as holistic development beyond graduation metrics UAPB's vision to drive talent, innovation, and economic renewal across the Arkansas Delta QUOTABLES: "The most important skill that there is, is relationship building." – Dr. Anthony Graham "AI may not take your job, but someone who knows how to use AI may take your job." – Dr. Anthony Graham "It really is about lifting all people so that the region thrives." – Dr. Anthony Graham GUEST RESOURCES: Our Chancellor - University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/The-EDU-Ledger X/Twitter: https://x.com/TheEDULedger Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheEDULedger Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheEDULedger Threads: https://www.threads.com/@TheEDULedger Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/TheEDULedger.bsky.social WATCH THIS VIDEO AND OTHERS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@TheEDULedger Closed captioning and a live show transcription are available in the video for this episode.
