New Bowie State president meets with

campus community

It didn't take long for Bowie State University's incoming

president to feel at home.

Aminta Hawkins Breaux drove down to campus from her

home in Pennsylvania a couple of weekends ago, shortly

after she'd taken the job as Bowie State's tenth president.

She wanted to get a look around informally, just to get a feel

for the place, she said.

She got a couple of friendly waves from some members of the

facilities staff who were out working on a Sunday morning,

which made her feel welcome.

She also noticed some students out and about with large

trash bags, cleaning up the grounds. Seeing that struck her,

too.

"They were out taking care of their home and I think that says

a lot about how they value their university," she said. "That

reassured me that I made the right decision — because I saw

that care in this community."
