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.

How Quinncia Can Help You

Resume Checking

About 90% of companies use an application tracking system (ATS) to review applications. ATS are set up to reject applicants’ resumes for including graphics, photos, incorrect margins, columns, grammatical errors, and more. While you may be a great candidate for an open job or internship, if your resume does not pass the ATS, it will never be seen by a human reviewer. When the average corporate job opening receives roughly 250 applications, you have to ensure your resume is ready to be read by an ATS.

You should include your contact information, education, and your experiences where you highlight your skills and achievements.
