The Bowie State University community was rocked to the
core in May 2017 when we lost our student, Second Lt.
Richard Collins III, in a senseless act of violence. To honor
the life and legacy of Lt. Collins, we want to begin the school
y e a r standing together with the University of Maryland,
College Park to affirm the core values of America and public
higher education—inclusion, diversity, respect and civility. I
ask the BSU campus community to join me as our two
institutions observe a Moment of Reflection on Wednesday,
August 30, 2017, at 12:05 p.m.
The BSU observance will take place at the torch. We will
gather at 11:45 a.m. and following a brief program, observe a
campus-wide moment of silence at 12:05 p.m. In
remembering Lt. Collins, we seek to further the collective
healing of the Bowie State University community and to
pursue peace and understanding amongst all people.
