Carnegie Corporation to Honor Freeman Hrabowski, Eduardo Padron: The Carnegie Corporation of New York will be honoring Dr. Freeman Hrabowski, president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and Dr. Eduardo Padron, president of Miami Dade College, for their leadership and commitment to educational equity and excellence on Thursday in New York. Hrabowski and Padron will be receiving the prestigious Centennial Academic Leadership Award, which comes with a $500,000 award for each recipient.
“They have each committed their institution to serving its community and have demonstrated that excellence in leadership is far more than effective management alone,” said Dr. Vartan Gregorian, president of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, in a statement.
