as BSU's First Female President
By Lauren Poteat (NNPA Newswire Contributor)
In her historic role as Bowie State University’s first female
president, Dr. Aminta Hawkins Breaux said that she’s ready
to lead the top 25 HBCU into the school’s next phase of
growth and development.
Following the celebrated legacy of Dr. Mickey L. Burnim, the
former BSU president that served the institution for nearly 11
years, Breaux said that she is thrilled and honored to accept
the leadership role.
“When I look at issues that African American women have
faced in this country, it makes me realize how very proud I am
to get to this point,” Breaux said about serving as BSU’s first
female president. “I have received so much positive feedback
from faculty, students and staff and recognize that this is a
huge responsibility that is very exciting and I wholeheartedly
serve in leadership role with great distinction.”
Though Breaux has only officially been in office since July 1,
the former vice president for advancement at Millersville
University in Pennsylvania has already started to outline new
initiatives.
