BSU, and class of 2021 the journey continues on, beyond

today.

Like the runner in a relay, we have been handed the baton—

and for this stretch it’s about what we will do until it’s time for

us to hand off to the next generation.

I am doing what I can each day to get us out in front of the

pack; and so when I make the hand off to the next leader of

Bowie State University, whenever that might be, I will know

that I’ve run a strong race to get us across the finish line.

Anyone who knows about running you know you don’t just run

to the line. No, your goal is to run through the finish line. So

Bowie State, this isn’t the end of the destination.

I am looking forward to seeing how you will make your mark

before you walk across the stage and we celebrate together

your accomplishments.

Together we have arrived at this destination stop. I invite

everyone to join me in this race, to get us out of the blocks

and get us moving along.
