To preserve the lasting legacy of Bowie State University as the rst

historically black university in the state of Maryland,
To continue to build academic excellence,

To create curricular and co-curricular opportunities supportive and

engaging of 21st generation of learners, and
To encourage and support the diversity of learners enrolled at Bowie State

University.

I’m looking forward:

To creating new partnerships in our local and global communities,

To developing new and distinctive and niche programs that uniquely de ne
Bowie State University,

To demonstrating scally sound models, metrics and accountability

measures, so that we can communicate to our internal audience and external
stakeholders in public higher education the value that we bring to our

communities.

And then nally, to promote the value of the quality educational experience
provided by Bowie State University faculty, staff and administrators.

And so, this is where we begin, Bowie State. I ask that you

join me, and let’s race forward to the future because I do see

a bright future. And notice, I didn’t say, “Let’s walk to the

future.” I said that intentionally. Let’s race to the future

because it is bright. There are a great many opportunities that

lie ahead. And I don’t believe in just sauntering along. I want

to race forward because I see a bright future ahead for us all.
