Professor Dorothy Sizemore Smith, a former chairperson, faculty member, and Writing Center Coordinator in the Department of English and Modern Languages at Bowie State University, was distinguished for numerous achievements in civic, educational, religious, and humanitarian arenas.  Trained and educated as a language critic, pianist, singer, humanist, and writer, she enjoyed a much deserved reputation as an incisive teacher, passionate researcher, effective interpreter and communicator, and inspired scholar who led and taught by way of example.

 

 

 

 

Professor Pedro-Jose Vidal was a lecturer in Spanish at BSU from 1995 through 2005 and was instrumental in establishing the Modern Languages Laboratory. Professor Vidal co-sponsored two Maryland Foreign Language Association technology conferences at BSU in 2000 and 2004. His commitment to the University was evidenced by his unrelenting service on several committees in the Department and the School of Arts and Sciences, including being the Departmental representative to the Thurgood Marshall Library for many years. He was also a member of many civic organizations.
