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.

Department of Nursing

Simulation Resource Center

Bowie State’s Department of Nursing is housed in the award-winning Center for Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Nursing—one of the region’s premier facilities for transformational learning and research.

The state-of-the-art nursing wing reflects the latest thinking in nursing education and enables students to hone their critical thinking and judgment. Students learn basic skills in a 12-station skills lab that simulates a hospital setting. Later, they refine clinical expertise in patient simulation rooms and a pediatric simulation lab, equipped with high-fidelity manikins, which include a birthing mother, five pediatric manikins and and eight infants. A cardiac and pulmonary manikin, or Harvey, allows students to practice listening to the heart and lungs through a stethoscope.

Full medical assessments are performed in an examination suite that features medical records stations. The nursing wing also includes debriefing rooms where faculty can provide an immediate review of students’ activity. The simulation center is designed to flexibly change as new educational strategies emerge.
