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.

Semester-based Undergraduate Research Institute (SURI)

A program of the Education Innovation Initiative (EI²), the Semester-based Undergraduate Research Institute (SURI) enables Bowie State undergraduates to conduct original research or produce a creative work under the guidance of a faculty mentor during the fall, spring or summer terms.

The intensive program guides BSU students through the process of developing research that they can publish in scholarly journals or present at conferences. At the end of the program, participants present their findings at the SURI Research Symposium.
