There are few, if any, fields of endeavor more critical to Maryland’s future than higher education. The task of preparing a new generation of citizens with critical thinking abilities, the temperament for lifelong learning and the skills to enter a globally competitive workplace grows more challenging every year.
Thomas Baden Jr.
On top of all of that, we saw year two of a global pandemic that made in-class instruction difficult (sometimes impossible) and posed financial and technological obstacles unthinkable only months earlier.
Many of the women and men leading our institutions of higher education, as well as teachers, policymakers and advocates, rose to this challenge. They are the 30 individuals you will meet in this special publication, The Daily Record’s inaugural Power 30 Higher Education List.
This list was chosen by our editorial team. We reached out to readers and others for input and perspective.Many of the Power 30 are familiar to all of us, but some are known only inside their organizations or communities.
In these pages we explore how these leaders view the higher education landscape, how it now exists and what it may look like in the future. And we’ve tried to provide a glimpse into the kind of people they are, what drives them to excel and to serve.
This list is part of a series of Power Lists throughout 2021 that will showcase the most powerful figures in law, higher education, manufacturing and other fields. It was preceded by our Power 100 List, which focused on the most powerful women and men across Maryland.
At the end of the year, we’ll offer a special Power Book that pulls these lists together and provides other information about critical sectors of Maryland’s economy.
You can find this and all our Power Lists on our website, TheDailyRecord.com.
We hope you enjoy this publication, and we welcome your feedback and suggestions.
