Jan. 28-30 Virtual Operations, Campus Remains Closed

Bowie State University will continue with virtual operations for all classes and office operations through Friday, January 30, 2026. The campus will be closed to all non-essential personnel, and all campus activities are canceled. All buildings except residence halls and the dining hall will be closed. Essential personnel should report on time. This is due to the extended time required to clear the extensive snow and ice accumulation on campus. University crews are making every effort to resume campus operations, as a safe return to in-person learning and work remains our top priority. Only essential personnel and residential students are permitted access to the campus through Jan. 30. For more information, please visit BowieState.edu/weather.

Hometown: Columbus, OH
Major: Biology
Classification: Junior

What inspired you to choose your major?
I’ve loved biology since the 6^th or 7^th grade and I can’t imagine doing something for the rest of my life that doesn’t involve biology. I also like chemistry, which is why I’m leaning toward pharmacy school. Biology and chemistry go hand-in-hand.

What do you look forward to doing after you graduate?
I want to do pharmaceutical research. I would like to discover a new element or compound that could be used to synthesize medicines to help people.

Are you involved in any campus organizations?
I’m a Resident Assistant. I’m on the E-board for Elite Modeling Troupe. And I did summer research with the Entrepreneurship Academy. Through that program, I researched a business model for solar charging stations with shaded seating areas for campus.

What have you learned about yourself at Bowie State?
You’re going to face a lot of adversity. And people are around to help you, but what matters is what you do to help yourself.

What makes you BOLD?
When I set my mind to something, there’s very little that can stop me from accomplishing that goal.
