A Message from President Breaux Reflecting on the notable achievements in the life of a

university in a year reveals the contributions of each member of

the campus community.

At Bowie State University, there were many examples of excellence

throughout the campus in the 2016–17 fiscal year. Faculty and

administrators, like Department of Counseling Chairperson Dr. Roslyn

Green, worked to ensure that our academic programs receive national

accreditations, signaling the strengths of our offerings. Students

like Jesuye David, together with his faculty mentor, demonstrated

excellence as David presented their research on a national stage. Staff

members like Robert Batten made us proud by winning the highest

award presented to staff of University System of Maryland institutions

by the Board of Regents.

The year also marked the opening of the $102 million Center for Natural

Sciences, Mathematics and Nursing, a transformational center for

innovation in teaching, research and scholarship. Our student-athletes

also gave us much to celebrate. Four teams made it to the championships

in their respective sports, and the women’s bowling and men’s basketball

teams won conference titles.

Our supporters like Timothy Adams continue to make long-term

investments in the future of Bowie State students and the viability of

the institution. He established an endowed scholarship over a decade

ago, which, through ongoing contributions, was valued at nearly

$180,000 in 2017.

Since July 2017 when I began as the 10th president of Bowie State

University, I have encountered countless individuals who represent

the pride and spirit of Bowie State University. I salute the faculty, staff,

students, alumni and supporters who make a difference at Bowie

State every day.

Aminta H. Breaux

Specialized accreditation of academic

programs is a mark of institutional

quality, signaling that the curriculum,

faculty and administration meet the

rigorous standards of the profession.

Two of Bowie State University’s counseling programs

achieved that distinction when they received national

accreditation, making Bowie State one of three Maryland

universities and the only University System of Maryland

school with this honor. The recognition elevates the

profile of the already well-respected master’s degree

programs in mental health counseling and school

counseling. Dr. Roslyn Green, chair of the Department

of Counseling, led the team charged with managing the

accreditation effort.

The accreditation from Council for Accreditation of

Counseling & Related Educational Programs (w)

extends through March 2019. Both programs met the

requirements of a thorough evaluation of hands-on

learning experiences, faculty qualifications, academic

support and student selection, among other criteria.

Graduates from CACREP-accredited programs are highly

recruited by employers — in fact, three federal agencies

require counselors to graduate from programs with the

CACREP accreditation before they can work

with their populations.

The Bowie State programs require students to complete an

extensive curriculum of foundational and advanced courses,

as well as hundreds of hours of clinical work. Graduates are

prepared to become licensed or certified counselors.

UNIVERSITY WELCOMES HISTORIC FRESHMAN CLASSA growing number of people are recognizing the great

value of a Bowie State education. Freshman enrollment

increased by 71 percent, resulting in a record-breaking

958 first-time students arriving on campus in fall

2016. The surge came after an aggressive recruitment

campaign and improved internal processes led to more

students accepting admissions offers from Bowie State.

With the addition of the class of 2020, the university’s

overall undergraduate population grew by 9 percent

to 4,711, and the total student population rose by 4

percent to 5,669.

Assistant Vice President of Enrollment Management

Troy Miller explained that the university continually

strives to keep tuition costs down as operating costs

rise and competition with other schools increases.

“Given those challenges, having record-breaking

enrollment is huge for us,” Miller said. “We'll continue

to see an even greater impact of these recruitment

efforts in the coming years.”

ACADEMICS AND RESEARCH

Freshmen made their mark by

signing a class banner at the

Matriculation Convocation.

The class of 2020 helped boost

the university's total enrollment.

Students Present Their Scientific Research on a National Stage Eleven science and technology students, attending

the Emerging Researchers National Conference,

presented findings from their faculty-guided

projects, funded by National Science Foundation

grants. Their research included designs of virtual

reality environments for emergency response and

building evacuation, identification of DNA barcodes

for a Nigerian fish species, and solutions for privacy

protection on social media. The students were:

biology majors Alexandria Brame, Chrysten Brown,

David Darko and Jarrett Davis; computer technology

majors Darren Sumpter, Akinyele Akinsanya and

Tarrell Fletcher; computer science majors Phillip

Devreaux and Emmanuel Ossuetta; and graduate

students Diliorah Arah (’16) (Master of Science in

organizational communication) and James Stigall

(Doctor of Science in computer science).

FACILITIES

The 149,000-square-foot building features active

learning classrooms and labs, flexible instructional

spaces, a fully enclosed greenhouse and a nursing

simulation wing — all of which are geared toward

involving students more directly in the educational

process. Research shows that when students are

actively engaged in the classroom, they are better

able to retain and understand the material.

A hub of science education and research, the center

promotes innovation in teaching and learning

and represents the university’s new approach to

teaching science, technology, engineering and

mathematics (STEM). Students preparing for careers

in high-demand STEM fields have the opportunity

to learn in an open environment that reveals

science and mathematics education in action and

makes it more accessible for all.

With the expanded lab space, faculty can

involve more students in real-world research,

strengthening the university’s strategic efforts to

integrate hands-on research opportunities into

the undergraduate student experience.

After two years of construction, the center

opened with fanfare as Maryland Governor

Larry Hogan joined state and local officials,

educators and project partners at the formal

ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The center is a model of high-

performance, sustainable design, aimed

at achieving LEED Gold certification by

the U.S. Green Building Council.

FACILITIES

The university recognized the late Bowie State

alumnus and Maryland delegate James E. Proctor

Jr.'s decades-long commitment to garnering financial

support for the institution, by renaming the Center

for Learning and Technology in his honor. The formal

ceremony in April 2017 marked the first time that a

campus building was named in memory of a supporter.

A faithful champion of education in Prince George’s

and Charles counties for 25 years, Proctor served as

vice-chair of the House Appropriations Committee

and worked to ensure state investments in Bowie State

construction and renovation projects. Those efforts

resulted in about $200 million in state allocations,

with some of those funds contributing to the

development of the university’s state-of-the-art Center

for Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Nursing.

The James E. Proctor Jr. Building houses the College

of Education, where Delegate Proctor earned two

degrees and sparked his passion for education.

Since Proctor’s passing in 2015, his wife and two-time

Bowie State alumna, Maryland Delegate Elizabeth

“Susie” Proctor, has been instrumental in keeping

his legacy alive. She worked to establish the James E.

Proctor Jr. Endowed Scholarship Fund, which provides

much needed financial support to students in the

College of Education.

English lecturer Rion Scott received a

prestigious national literary award and

a $25,000 prize for his highly celebrated

first collection of short stories.

Scott was honored with the 2017 PEN/Robert W. Bingham

Prize for Debut Fiction for “Insurrections: Stories,” which

tells the experiences of African Americans in the fictional

town of Cross River, Maryland, founded in 1807 after the

only successful slave revolt in the United States. The award

recognizes an author whose debut work of fiction displays

literary brilliance and promise for a second work.

“As long as they keep distorting and keep flattening our

humanity, I want to keep responding with complexity,”

Scott said in his acceptance speech. “That’s my insurrection,

and I encourage you all to do the same.”

Since “Insurrections” was published in July 2016, Scott

had garnered critical acclaim from several prominent

national media outlets, including TheRoot.com.

In praising Scott’s work, the award judges, who represent

the nation’s foremost fiction writers, said, “These are hard,

humane stories, free of grand-standing yet full of grace, that

loom in the mind long after reading. We were better off for

having read ‘Insurrections.’ ”

Genetics Professor Selected as an Emerging Scholar In recognition of her commitment to

scholarship in the laboratory and the

classroom, genetics professor Dr. Tyesha

Burks was named a 2017 Emerging

Scholar by Diverse: Issues in Higher

Education. Burks — one of 12 professors

selected from a pool of hundreds of

academics nationwide — is working to

find a cure for sarcopenia, a condition

that ages skeletal muscles. Her research

expertise and thoughtful guidance are

preparing our students for successful

careers in STEM fields.

Theater Faculty Earned Coveted Regional Recognition Two theater professors were nominated for — and

one won — Helen Hayes Awards, a prestigious honor

that celebrates excellence in professional theatre

throughout the Washington metropolitan area.

Kathryn Kawecki, an assistant professor and set

designer, received a nomination for her design of the

1st Stage production of “Proof.” Adjunct professor

Psalmayene 24, also known as Gregory Morrison,

won the award for outstanding direction of the Theater

Alliance’s production of “Word Becomes Flesh,”

which blends spoken word, dance and live music.

Both faculty are using their creative expertise to train

Bowie State’s arts students.

Administrator Recognized for Outstanding Student Support International Student Services Director Robert Batten received a University

System of Maryland (USM) Board of Regents’ Staff Award for outstanding service

to students in an academic or residential environment. This honor is the highest

recognition given to exemplary staff by the Board of Regents.

A long-time student advocate, Batten has been a dedicated mentor and advisor

for several university initiatives. As a coordinator for the BSU Male Initiative

mentoring program, he helps to promote the advancement of male students

through mentor/protégé relationships between male employees and students by

organizing the program’s experiential activities.

Batten’s work with students extends beyond traditional business hours on

campus, often requiring travel and a sacrifice of personal time. He manages the

Honda Campus All-Star Challenge team, preparing study sessions and traveling to

regional and national competitions. Under his leadership, the team took second

place and won a $30,000 grant for the university during the 2017 competition.

He has also served as an advisor on the Student Athlete Advisory Committee,

organized intramural sports and chaperoned countless student trips.

The award, which included a $2,000 cash gift, affirms Batten’s unwavering

commitment to the success of Bowie State students.

COMMENCEMENT DAY BRINGS JOY AND MOURNING FOR CLASS OF 2017As the world watched, graduates of the class of 2017 received

their degrees, even as they remembered Second Lieutenant

Richard Collins III, who was killed just days before in a

senseless act of violence.

Television news crews and reporters

broadcasting around the world flocked to the

commencement ceremony. The university

livestream had thousands of views.

In the arena, an empty seat, draped with

a graduation gown, honored Lt. Collins

throughout the commencement ceremony.

He was posthumously awarded his

degree, a Bachelor of Science in business

administration, and President Burnim

presented it to his family.

The day before, hundreds gathered at a

candlelight vigil on campus to remember

Lt. Collins. Bowie State’s Army ROTC Bulldog

Battalion hosted the vigil, in partnership with

other student leaders, to provide a forum to

share memories and to reflect on his lasting

impact on the university community.

Giving his final commencement address as

Bowie State president, Dr. Burnim shared

lessons he learned over his life. “One’s most

significant growth is likely to come from

a failure experience,” he said, illustrating

how past failures set him on the course to

become Bowie State’s ninth president.

A partnership between the Department

of Computer Science and the Baltimore

YouthWorks employment program brought

about 40 youth to the campus in summer

2016 to learn technology skills in the Summer

Design and Think Technology Innovation

Capstone Project. For five weeks, the youth

worked in teams, guided by BSU faculty

and students, to develop tech innovations

that addressed problems in Baltimore and

presented their projects to a panel of expert

judges. As a result, Professor Lethia Jackson

said Bowie State became a top college

choice for many of the youth. The program

was funded by an extension of a National

Nuclear Security Administration grant for

the university’s participation in a federal

cybersecurity workforce pipeline.

Another partnership between the Department

of Social Work and the Prince George’s County

Department of Social Services introduced

about 40 teens in foster care to college life

through the Bowie at a Glance College Tour.

Department Chair Makeba Green said the

initiative shows youth in foster care that

attending college is possible by encouraging

them to take advantage of a free tuition waiver

available to them. President Burnim and

Provost Weldon Jackson welcomed the teens

to the campus before they were paired with

a BSU student from their academic area of

interest. The youth attended classes with their

student mentor, heard from financial aid and

campus life officials and toured the campus.

The next day, they returned for a Bulldogs

basketball game.

PARTNERSHIPS

Bowie State has established an exciting partnership

with the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning

Commission (M-NCPPC) to bring arts programming

to campus. Through this new collaboration, students,

faculty and staff — as well as Maryland residents —

now have access to an array of cultural activities held

at the Fine and Performing Arts Center.

Beginning in January 2017, M-NCPPC utilized

the university’s state-of-the-art center to host

workshops, small classes, children’s camps and

performances by renowned regional and national

artists. African dance classes, writing workshops

and live concerts were among the diverse creative

offerings available during the spring session.

Popular go-go band Be’la Dona and R&B duo

CrossRhodes — featuring Grammy-nominated vocalist

Raheem DeVaughn — drew significant crowds. Over

the summer, elementary-aged children attended

the four-week Junior Academy for the Performing

Arts where participants honed their acting, singing,

dancing and storytelling skills. With each event, BSU

has expanded its visibility in the region and created

more opportunities for the community to connect

with the campus.

In a show of determination and skill, a team of four Bowie State students took

second place and won $30,000 for the university in the 2017 Honda Campus

All-Star Challenge (HCASC), marking the first time Bowie State advanced to

the championships in the national quiz bowl tournament.

Bowie State competed for the title against 47 other

HBCU teams in the fast-paced, modified round robin

format, ultimately falling to Oakwood College. The

team members were computer science major Carroll

Reed III (team captain), mathematics major Ibukun

Ayo-Durojaiye, government major Jahlil Bennett, and

biology major Kayla Rayford.

In addition to being the runner-up team, Bowie State

coach Robert Batten was honored as Coach of the Year,

and Ayo-Durojaiye was named one of eight student All-

Stars for being the highest-scoring player in the division.

The annual tournament, held in Los Angeles, brings

together 48 HBCU teams to compete for grants for

their schools and bragging rights. The top two teams

in eight divisions advance to the Sweet 16 single-

elimination playoff, as they vie for the grand prize

of $75,000.

What is the Honda Campus All-Star Challenge?

The Q & A game combines academic material, popular culture and

sports in a format emphasizing quick recall. African American history

and culture is prominently featured in the questions.

White House Initiative Names Doctoral Candidate an HBCU All-Star Donovan Blake, a doctoral

candidate in educational

leadership, was selected by

the White House Initiative on

Historically Black Colleges and

Universities to serve

as an HBCU All-Star, becoming the third student ambassador from

Bowie State since the program’s inception in 2014. The 73 HBCU

All-Stars were chosen for their outstanding academics, leadership

and civic engagement. Blake surpassed expectations when she

worked with North Carolina Congresswoman Alma Adams’s

office to coordinate the student voices panel at the inaugural

HBCU Braintrust event, which took place at the 2017

Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s 47th

Annual Legislative Caucus.

Theater Students Address Social Injustice Theater students performed 18 one-minute plays to call attention

to racial inequality as part of the national movement, “Every 28 Hours Plays.”

BSU senior Octavia Morton wrote one of the plays and it was performed, along

with others, at campuses across the country. Most of the plays were penned by professional

playwrights. The project gets its name from the statistic that every 28 hours a black person is killed by a

vigilante, security guard or the police in the United States.

STUDENT LIFE

CIVIL RIGHTS ICON JESSE JACKSON INSPIRES STUDENTS TO VOTEAhead of the 2016 presidential election,

hundreds of Bowie State students got a rare

opportunity to hear from civil rights icon

and two-time presidential candidate Jesse

Jackson at a campus rally on the importance

of exercising their political power.

In an event sponsored by the Democratic National Committee

and the BSU Student Government Association, Rev. Jackson

encouraged students to register to vote and get out to the polls

for the presidential election. “Nothing is more important than the

right to vote. The right to vote preserves all other rights,” he said.

“This November, we will rebuild our cities. We will expand the

domain of historically black colleges. We will get off our rumps

and defeat (Donald) Trump.”

After his 30-minute speech, Rev. Jackson invited students

who were not registered voters to walk toward the front of the

auditorium to complete registration forms at tables staffed by

election officials. He invited dozens of students to join him on

stage for pictures and greetings. Students largely embraced his

message of empowerment.

Rev. Jackson made a lasting impression on Charnell Ferguson,

business administration major and president of Bowie State’s

NAACP chapter. She says she’s “fighting for minority rights and

equality. ... That means advancing change and building change

within our generation and building civil rights leaders.”

THE IMPACT OF GIVINGFor more than 10 years, Southwest Airlines

has been a strong and avid supporter of

Bowie State University, donating airline

tickets to transport BSU students across the

country for educational opportunities.

One recipient of Southwest’s generosity is Ramonia

Morant (’06, ’17). In March 2017, she was eager to attend

the 2nd Annual HBCU Symposium in Miami, Florida,

the only national symposium that convenes HBCU

students, alumni, faculty and advocates. As president

of the Graduate Student Association, she wanted to

learn how she could personally impact Bowie State

and future Bulldogs. With an award of a roundtrip

Southwest Airlines ticket, Ramonia was able to

attend that symposium.

“I am so grateful to Bowie State University

and Southwest Airlines for giving me

the opportunity to attend the 2nd

Annual HBCU Symposium,” said

Ramonia.

“I learned how I can assist my

HBCU by giving back, donating

and serving.”

A first-generation college student

pursuing a master’s degree

in mental health counseling,

Ramonia learned firsthand

what other HBCUs were

doing to expand their impact,

preserve their legacies, and

enhance their recruitment and

retention.

THE POWER OF ENDOWMENTSAn entrepreneur and philanthropist at heart,

Timothy J. Adams understands the power of university

endowments to create an enduring legacy and sustain

the institution, ensuring that generations of students

can access quality higher education.

As a former board chair of the BSU Foundation,

Adams’s leadership helped to grow the university’s

endowment to $6 million. Further illustrating his

commitment to the endowment, Adams led by

example by becoming a donor as well. With an

initial investment of $25,000 in 2005, he established

the Detective Byron A. Adams Sr. Scholarship Fund,

created in honor of his late brother to support

undergraduate students seeking a career in law

enforcement. Now, it has grown to nearly

$180,000, often bridging the gap in financial aid

for students in need.

Through his generous contribution, Adams has

invested in the future of Bowie State. As president

and CEO of Systems Application & Technologies, Inc.

(SA-TECH), he has used his business acumen to

further the mission of the university.

PHILANTHROPY

#BowieStateGives The Bowie State University community showed its commitment to

philanthropy on November 29, 2016, by rallying behind #GivingTuesday,

the global day of giving that encourages people to use social media to

promote philanthropy. Undergraduate students competed by class year to

inspire each person to give. Alumni and friends used social media to tag

#BowieStateGives and spread the word about why they support BSU. In the

university’s second year of the campaign, more than 100 donors gave more

than $5,000 toward student scholarships and institutional support.
