But long before this massive six-figure donation, Dr. Hrabowski joined together with the BEYA community to make a big difference in the world of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education.<\/p>\n

Help BEYA continue to give future generations access to STEM, and in turn help shape the future of technology for decades to come. Click\u00a0here<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>for more information.<\/p>\n

For over three decades, BEYA has showcased the outstanding contributions of some of the most innovative people in STEM fields. Each year, BEYA hosts hundreds of students from two-year and four year minority-serving institutions, as well as hundreds of elementary, middle, and high school students in local communities that host BEYA events.<\/p>\n

The BEYA Conference Scholarship program has ensured thousands of STEM students are able to attend conferences virtually or in person. To do this, the BEYA charity, which is registered in the United States, has received public and private funding for BEYA Conference scholarships. BEYA has been serving the STEM community for more than 36 years.<\/p>\n

Founded by Tyrone Taborn,\u00a0 Career Communications Group CEO, and Dr. Eugene M. DeLoatch. Dean Emeritus of the School of Engineering at Morgan State University, BEYA was created to promote the significant achievements of African Americans in STEM during Black History Month. Since its founding, BEYA has led the campaign to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in STEM.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a major statement Dr. Hrabowski is sending with this $200,000 contribution to BEYA,\u201d Taborn said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Hrabowski, an educator, advocate, and mathematician, has long been aligned with BEYA\u2019s mission to inspire a new generation of STEM leaders. In 2013, he was named Black Engineer of the Year at the BEYA Conference, in recognition of his dedication and commitment to increasing the number of minorities in STEM careers. In 2016, a BEYA Legacy Award was named after Dr. Hrabowski.<\/p>\n

Born in 1950 in Birmingham, Alabama, Hrabowski graduated from Hampton Institute with highest honors in mathematics. He received his M.A. (mathematics) and Ph.D. (higher education administration\/statistics) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.<\/p>\n

As UMBC president (1992-2022), he promoted minority achievement in STEM fields, as well as minority participation and performance in STEM. Dr. Hrabowski has made it a lifelong career to raise generations of academically successful people who are empowered to overcome the odds.<\/p>\n

Before retiring from UMBC in 2022, the largest private biomedical institute in the United States announced the launch of the Freeman Hrabowski Scholars, a nearly $1.5 Billion program help build a scientific workforce that reflects a diverse country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should all be encouraged by HHMI\u2019s commitment to changing the face of science in America,\u201d Hrabowski said in a statement. \u201cThis initiative shows what is possible when an institution is guided by its values and by evidence of what works. I am deeply honored to be connected with HHMI and with this new program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Giving Tuesday is over for 2022, but you can still make a donation today. Help BEYA continue to give future generations access to some the most innovative people in STEM, and in turn help shape the future of technology for decades to come. Click\u00a0here<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to learn more.<\/p>\n
