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. 

BSU-UMD Social Justice Alliance

Champion change in the fight for equality.

Bowie State University, in collaboration with the University of Maryland and the 2nd Lieutenant Richard Collins III Foundation, has developed a Social Justice Alliance, created to honor the legacy of BSU alumnus Lt. Collins and promote social justice on their respective campuses. Lt. Collins was posthumously promoted to the rank of first lieutenant by the U.S. Army.

Led by faculty experts and staff from each university, the alliance is addressing critical issues facing campuses, communities and the nation by engaging our students and communities to bring about the social justice change we want to see.

The alliance will host public programming, including symposiums and a national conference, to stimulate conversations and direct action for change. The alliance will provide learning opportunities for BSU and UMD students by infusing social justice education in the curriculum and experiential activities.
