She said that one way she will build on Bowie’s academic

strength is by merging the classroom and the workplace

through the university’s Education Innovation Initiative (ei2).

The ei2 program is a Science Technology Engineering Arts

and Math (STEAM) education initiative that exposes under-

represented students in Prince George’s County with real

world work experiences. “It will merge the classroom and the

workplace because this is what will help you in the world,”

Breaux told the AFRO.

Breaux also said she wants to create more partnerships with

the community, faculty and students and work with the

school’s Board of Regents to continue to improve the value of

public education.

“Bowie State University is positioned to achieve even greater

excellence in the years ahead,” University System of

Maryland Chancellor Robert L. Caret said in a statement. “Dr.

Breaux has the leadership experience, ability, and

commitment to make that a reality. Throughout her career,

she has excelled in nurturing productive relationships both on

and off campus, with the goal of enhancing opportunities for

students, faculty, and staff. We very much look forward to her

joining the University System of Maryland community.”
