Page 8 - Racing To Excellence

Fall 2017 Convocation · Bowie State

University

It is my hope that everyone here will join me
to do what you can to make a difference for
others and to live out the legacy set by past
generations, and here at BSU, the founders,
the faculty and students who travelled this
campus for over 150 years.

I am just in my third month as president at
BSU, but I commit that when I am in my 43 rd
month, and throughout my tenure as your
president, I will continually strive for
excellence to ensure that BSU will be the
Flame of Faith and the Torch of Truth – that
beacon of hope for the future.

It was John Dewey, the American
philosopher, psychologist, and educator,
who once said: “Education is a social
process; education is growth; education is
not preparation for life but is life itself.”

Thank you.
