BALTIMORE — Michelle Obama represented the University of Maryland, Baltimore County on a national stage Saturday by sporting a UMBC T-shirt in a video promoting College Signing Day.
The unexpected shout-out from the former first lady thrilled UMBC students and alumni, and spotlighted the achievements of the university.
“To celebrate our eighth annual #CollegeSigningDay, I’m wearing a college shirt from UMBC, an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution in Baltimore County, MD,” Obama said in a statement accompanying the video. She appears alongside celebrities, such as Usher, Chloe and Halle Bailey, and Conan O’Brien, celebrating students for their upcoming college paths or military careers.
