Providing specialized service led to success for these alums

STORY BY ADAM STONE

In elementary school, someone probably asked what you wanted to be when you grew up. Depending on your generation, you might have said doctor, teacher, firefighter or, more recently, something like Instagram influencer.

In real life, people find themselves working in jobs they never imagined, or even knew existed. Caregiver consultant, accountant for tattoo artists, equine lawyer—who knew?

For some, a University of Baltimore education has opened doors to unexpected opportunities. They’re finding personal and professional satisfaction in little-known niches, where their expertise and passion have a chance to shine.

Alumni arts leaders are protecting culture from the vultures

STORY BY ANNA RUSSELL

The arts are a central expression of society and our values. Today’s changing cultural landscape depends on strong leaders who are sensitive to those shifting needs and able to develop strategies that maintain stability and sustain growth. The arts require exploration not only in the act of creation but by those who enable that creative journey.

The University of Baltimore has spent a century developing leaders across a variety of fields who can quickly adapt and weather changes to our environment and economy. By helping students master finance, law, management and critical thinking, UBalt empowers its graduates to expand the reach and impact of the arts. These leaders don’t just support the arts; they develop flexible frameworks that preserve artistic legacies and ensure their future.

For many who have worn a United States military uniform, service becomes a way of life. When they transition to civilian roles, some feel called to continue their service in support of their fellow veterans. A number of University of Baltimore graduates have found ways to leverage their academic and professional achievements to help serve the needs of the military veteran community.

From proactive hiring to community service to direct support for UBalt’s own veteran students, they’re using their skills to help other veterans succeed in civilian life.
