It is important that the campus community know and

recognize the excellent work of our faculty. Faculty members

like Dr. William Drakeford who serves as the principal

investigator on three projects funded by the Department of

Education, each over $1 million. He is also the principal

investigator on a $1.1 million grant, in conjunction with the

University of Maryland College of Education to train

undergraduate students from underrepresented populations

for doctoral study. And then there is English Professor Rion

Scott who received a prestigious 2017 PEN literary award for

his collection of short stories entitled “Insurrections.” The

award recognizes the literary brilliance of debut works of

fiction.

These are but two examples of the great work by our faculty.

So as you can see, as I did, there are many quality aspects to

BSU; and like you, I believe I have found a wonderful fit for

me in this outstanding university.
