Impact Maryland Panel: Advancing Education for All in Maryland

The far-reaching impact of COVID has given rise to unique educational obstacles for our students, especially in Baltimore. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has outlawed race-conscious admissions, making colleges work hard to recruit diverse students. How are Maryland's education leaders equipping young minds to thrive in higher education and the rapidly-changing modern workforce?

This panel was moderated by The Banner's Education Reporter Liz Bowie. It was introduced by Education Reporter Kristen Griffith.

Panelists: 
- Dr. Sonja Santelises, CEO of Baltimore City Schools
-Valerie Sheares Ashby, president of University of Maryland, Baltimore County
-David K. Wilson, president of Morgan State University 
-Tierra Dorsey, President of the Central Scholarship Bureau
-Kurt Schmoke, President of University of Baltimore
-Dr. Melanie Perreault the interim President of Towson University

This conversation was recorded on October 10, 2023 as part of Impact Maryland, an immersive, one-day event that brought together top voices from key industries, creating a dialogue on the issues deeply impacting our region.
