Honored to attend the State of the State address as a personal guest of Governor Wes Moore and Lt. Governor Aruna Miller.

Their vision for ensuring workers are supported in the age of AI, strengthening public services, and driving economic growth reflects serious leadership for a serious moment.

At Morgan State University, we are committed to partnering in that vision, building the talent, research, and infrastructure that will help Maryland lead responsibly and competitively.

It was also a pleasure to connect with Mayor Brandon Scott and to continue strengthening the collaboration between Morgan and the City of Baltimore. We look forward to working even more deeply with the Mayor’s Office to enhance and modernize the digital infrastructure of our city in ways that expand access and opportunity.

Together, state leadership, city leadership, and higher education can ensure that innovation expands opportunity, creating a prosperous and bright future for all Marylanders and strengthening our nation starting right here at home.

And a special shout out to MHEC Secretary Sanjay Rai who has been an amazing champion and catalyst of the work.

An honor to be introduced by Secretary Sanjay Rai of the Maryland Higher Education Commission to Maryland Lt. Governor Aruna Miller.
Grateful for the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversation around innovation, education, Morgan State University as an innovation hub, and the future of Maryland’s workforce.

Leadership, connection, and vision—this is how we build the future.
