Jan. 28 Transition to Virtual Operations, Campus Closed

Bowie State University will be transitioning to virtual operations for all classes and office operations on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. The campus will be closed to all non-essential personnel, and all campus activities are canceled. All buildings except residence halls 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 on Jan. 28. For more information, please visit BowieState.edu/weather.

Close to 50 BSU volunteers planted a campus fruit tree orchard of 25 apple and pear trees on the tract of land between Lot L and Loop Road (near the Student Center). Trees were donated by the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation and an expert arborist will be on site along with possible members from the media.

In collaboration with Vitafusion, the FTPF teamed with BSU as a part of a bold goal to plant 200k fruit trees worldwide by 2020. Bowie State is the only college in Maryland, and the only HBCU as a part of this worldwide initiative.
