UMBC tops “up and coming” school list

Congrats to our friends and colleagues at UMBC for this morning’s news that their campus is recognized by US News and World Report as the top “up and coming” campus in the nation. (See the Sun article for example.) Freeman Hrabowski, President at UMBC, is obviously in rapture on this, and for good reason. He pays a lot of attention not just to what happens on campus but also to branding and relations off campus – a tip the folks at College Park might consider. The recent good news for UMBC reflects Hrabowski’s hard work.
College Park? Held steady at 53 overall in national universities and 18 among public universities on that list. In fairness that’s tough company in which to compete, but as the saying goes, if you’re not advancing, you’re moving back.
