Notable Quotables

Category: Noteworthy

“Passion about what you do is often more important than intelligence. No matter how talented, no one person can accomplish major tasks alone; it takes a true team effort to make an impact. No matter how hard I worked at it, I would never set a world record in the 100-yard dash.”

—Robert L. Bogomolny, UB president, on the three most surprising truths he’s discovered in his lifetime, as interviewed by Betsy Boyd, lecturer, in Baltimore Fishbowl, Nov. 16

“The Internet has changed everything. We expect to know everything instantly. If you don’t understand digital communication, you’re at a disadvantage.”

—Bob Parsons, B.S. ’75, D.H.L. ’08, founder of GoDaddy.com, at the Merrick School of Business Lessons From Legends event recognizing Global Entrepreneurship Week, Nov. 12, as reported in The (Baltimore) Sun

“Not all law schools will successfully adapt to this brave new world, but I’m confident the University of Baltimore will do so. … Our students learn to write and reason and advocate like lawyers in classrooms, nationally renowned clinics and community-based internships. This school is already oriented to providing students with the cutting-edge tools they need to succeed in the legal environment of the 21st century.”

—Ronald Weich, dean of the UB School of Law, in a letter to the editor published in The Daily Record, Feb. 21

“[The right to vote] is not a Democratic issue. This is not a Republican issue. This is not an issue for Independents. This is an issue for everyone. … Because for far too many people in our democracy, the act of voting has become an endurance contest. … The act of voting shouldn’t feel like you’ve just finished a marathon. And for too many people across this country on Election Day, it felt just like that. And that isn’t right.”

—Thomas E. Perez, assistant attorney general for the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, on “Protecting Democracy’s Fundamental Civil Right: The Right to Vote” at the UB School of Law, Jan. 23

“The good news for Baltimore citizens is that at the University of Baltimore and at many other colleges and universities in the region, faculty members are busy developing integrated, innovative college programs designed to graduate liberally educated professionals. The last thing students need is a narrowly tailored education that may set them up for a first job, but not with the adaptive and integrative capacities to continue learning over time and to move from one job to the next as the global economy twists and turns.”

—Carol Geary Schneider, president of the Association of American Colleges and Universities, in an opinion article in The (Baltimore) Sun about her presentation to the UB community as part of the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences’ Visioning for Excellence symposium on the future of integrative applied liberal arts and sciences at the University
