Description
During the summer of 1992, President Michael Hooker left UMBC to take the helm of the five-school University of Massachusetts System. Freeman Hrabowski, who had first served as Vice Provost and then as Vice President, was selected as the interim president. A search for a new president would not begin until a final decision had been made about the possible unification of UMBC and UMAB, as only one president would be needed if the two schools merged.
