In 2016,the diversified parent corporation Pearson plc rebranded to focus entirely on education publishing and services,and as of 2023 Pearson Education is Pearson plc's main subsidiary.
Freeman Alphonsa Hrabowski III is an American educator,advocate,and mathematician. In May 1992,he began his term as president of the University of Maryland,Baltimore County (UMBC),one of the twelve public universities composing the University System of Maryland. Hrabowski has been credited with transforming UMBC into an institution noted for research and innovation. Under his leadership,UMBC was ranked the #1 Up and Coming University in the U.S. for six consecutive years (2009-2014) by the U.S. News &World Report magazine. When that designation was retired,U.S. News &World Report began including UMBC on its annual Most Innovative National Universities list.
