<p>I got an invitation for a UMBC Welcoming Reception hosted by the school's President. Has anyone been to one of these, and if so, what takes place at this reception? Thanks.</p>
<p>Daughter got one too, taking place at Strathmore.</p>
<p>I haven’t been to one of these, but my S is a freshman at UMBC, and I got to hear President Hrabowski speak at accepted students’ day. He is a dynamic and thoughtful speaker who was the focus of a 60 Minutes piece a few months ago. I recommend going if for no other reason than to hear him say a few words.</p>
<p>Hrabowski just got appointed to another Presidential Educational Issues commission.</p>
