We are pleased to announce that the Stanford
University School of
Medicine, Biosciences Office of Graduate Education,
and other
University programs are co-sponsoring the first annual
symposium on
diversity in graduate education.

This year, we have invited Dr. Freeman Hrabowski, III,
President of the University of Maryland Baltimore
County,
to speak to the Stanford community on
December 6 at 4:30 pm in Fairchild Auditorium.

His talk will focus on his successes recruiting and
retaining
students of color in math and science, and the
importance of
diversity in graduate education.

Dr. Hrabowski is a scholar and educator who has
received national
recognition for his work on increasing minority
participation in
math and the sciences. Born in Birmingham, Alabama,
Hrabowski,
graduated at 19 from Hampton Institute with highest
honors in
mathematics, and he received his M.A. (mathematics)
and
PhD (higher education administration and statistics)
from the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign at the age
of 24.
He has served as the president of UMBC since 1992.
The University of Maryland Baltimore County is the
home of the
Meyerhoff Scholars, a program renowned for increasing
the number of
underrepresented minority students earning doctorates
in
science and engineering. Over 200 students currently
participate
in the Meyerhoff program, and its over 300 graduates
have enrolled in
MD, PhD, and MD/PhD programs at leading research
universities such as
Stanford, Harvard, Yale, and MIT.

We are honored that Dr. Hrabowski will be joining us,
and would like to
extend an invitation to you attend his talk on Friday,
