The presenter is Freeman Hrabowski and he is the president of University of Maryland, Baltimore County. He explains his university's outreach to increase minority students in the areas of math and science. What they discovered is that their four-point focus helps not just minority students, but all students, and the results prove it. They have one of the highest graduation rates in the US of students with degrees in math and science.
It is easy to get discouraged by the progress, or lack thereof, in education today. This message was a shot in the arm, a boost to continue to find ways to help all kids succeed.
It's worth watching.
