Dr. Freeman Hrabowski (</span><span>President, UMBC<em>)</em></span><span> and George Mehaffy (</span><span>Vice President for Academic Leadership and Change, American Association of State Colleges and Universities),</span><span> provided valuable context and vision to dig deep to develop socially engaged citizens.   Workshops deepened learning and connections. Colleagues in service shared their experiences and some received awards for their dedication. The innovative use of social media complimented the day.  </span></p>

    <p><em>Paraprofessional staff members within Residential Life have a huge impact on and responsibility to their community. But are they leaders? Yes, they have positional leadership by the nature of their jobs, but what is it that they do that allows them to be called leaders? Learn about how UMBC incorporated leadership and civic education models into Residence Life, transforming 25 students into social change agents.</em></p>
