Welcome

The Office of Student Life is part of the dynamic student services team in Student Affairs. We primarily provide activities and programs that complement students' academic experience. Programs include, but are not limited to, lectures, speakers, panel discussions, cultural fairs and festivals, awareness days, and concerts. Additionally, we are responsible for the coordination and implementation of leadership programs, commuter affairs, community service, intramural and recreation sport programs, and new student orientation. Our office prides itself on being able to work directly with the students of Bowie State University.

This office advises the Student Government Association, which is the voice for all undergraduate students, clubs, and organizations. It is our belief that students must be actively involved in campus life in order to get the full benefits of the college experience. Student involvement should be meaningful and should provide students, in a developmental way, the opportunity to grow, develop, and express themselves. In other words, we want to make sure that you have fun at Bowie State University.

Mission

The Office of Student Life coexists as an integral part of the educational process at Bowie State University. Our primary focus is to provide high-quality programs and activities that complement the in-class experiences of all students.

It is our belief that these programs must be intentional in an effort to connect the students with the University as well as foster student involvement. We are grounded in student development theory and use this as a concerted means to assist students in achieving their educational goals.

We are committed to providing students with opportunities to learn in non-traditional ways that aid their growth and development, while supporting the traditional education that is learned in the classroom.

Vision

As an extension of the education process, it is the vision of the Office of Student Life to provide educational, cultural, social, vocational, recreational and spiritual opportunities and services that are responsive to the developmental, personal, and professional needs of the students at Bowie State University.

Diversity Statement

It is the practice of the Office of Student Life to value diversity in everything we do. We strongly support the University's policy, which states that we shall not discriminate against any individual on the basis of race, color, religion, age, ancestry or national origin, sex, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, or veteran status. This policy is in accordance with all local, state, and federal laws. In addition, the Office of Student Life will assist students in developing tolerance for issues concerning diversity in an attempt to create a community where everyone is celebrated.
