Wednesday General Session 10 am – Noon | Wisconsin Center

Dr. Freeman Hrabowski III

   GENERAL SESSION HIGHLIGHTS  Presiding: Dave Polashek, WASDA President, Oconto Falls School District

keynote speaker

Dr. Freeman Hrabowski III has been passionate about education his entire life. In 1963, at age 12 he marched in the Children’s Crusade organized by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to show the country that black students wanted access to equal education facilities and resources. For marching that day, 50 years ago in Birmingham, Alabama, Dr. Hrabowski and other children spent five days in jail. Now, as president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), Dr. Hrabowski is a national leader in science and math education, with a special emphasis on minority participation and performance. In 2012, Dr. Hrabowski was named one of TIME magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in the World.” Dr. Hrabowski delivers a powerful message about how and why schools need to reach and engage all students. Not only is it the right thing to do, it will help strengthen our country by developing a stronger workforce.

At UMBC, Dr. Hrabowski started a scholars program that successfully helped minority students graduate with science degrees. The program is now used across all racial and economic groups, and across academic disciplines to provide support and guidance to all students. He and UMBC were recently featured on CBS’s 60 Minutes, attracting national attention for the campus’s achievements involving innovation and inclusive excellence. Dr. Hrabowski was selected by President Obama to chair the newly created President’s Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for African Americans. Born in 1950 in Birmingham, Dr. Hrabowski graduated at 19 from Hampton Institute with highest honors in mathematics. At the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, he received his M.A. (mathematics) and four years later his Ph.D. (higher education administration/statistics) at age 24.

In 2012, Dr. Hrabowski was named one of TIME magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in the World.” Dave Polashek

Presentations will include: Superintendent of the Year, Business Official of the Year, Teachers of the Year, Principals of the Year and the Wisconsin Student Art Award.

“After only five months of teaching I had plenty of hard lessons left to learn. One of the hardest would be that one person can’t be everywhere to motivate and to love every child. I would learn it quickly, as I did with Danny, and I would be reminded of it over and over again. These children must connect with other teachers and adults who will hang on to them and keep them from falling through the cracks. Almost anyone who has faith in the power we have to change the lives of others can make the difference.” — Excerpt from Nobody Don’t Love Nobody
