Dr. Breaux is Bowie State’s 10th president and the first
woman to hold the position. She comes to the University at a
cresting point for Bowie State and the county. The University
is enjoying a positive momentum: the performing arts building
is also a new addition, a new endowed chair has been
established, enrollment is up and the institution celebrated its
150th anniversary in 2015. The anniversary marks BSU as
one of the oldest Historically Black Colleges And Universities
in the nation. The county is on the fast-track to becoming one
of the leading destinations in Maryland.
But Breaux has more than 30 years’ experience in higher
education in numerous positions, including the executive
levels. Breaux has insightful analytical ability coupled with a
warm, personal touch. She will seek to put the University in
line with regional and national decision makers and
stakeholders who will further Maryland’s growth – especially
that of the Washington DC metro area.
She hasn’t selected a home here yet, but insiders are already
noticing Breaux’ sharp intellect and willingness to build on
BSU’s best trends and to carefully reevaluate that which
needs adjustment and redirection.
