I also had the opportunity to deliver my 2023 State of the University Address, reflecting on what we have accomplished together over the past year, and lay out our plans for a prosperous future, as we continue to educate our multicultural, multigenerational student population; serve the community; and lead the way in innovative problem-solving and entreprenurial spirit that will change the trajectory of our nation, and our world. In the past year, we have broken previous fundraising records, earned more grant dollars to fund innovative research and programing, launched several new academic programs, and made critical investments that will help improve economic mobility and the redevelopment in West Baltimore.
