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.

Mental Health

Mental health awareness increases understanding and empathy for mental health conditions. It involves educating yourself and others about the prevalence and impact of mental health challenges, emphasizing that they are as significant as physical health concerns. When we become more aware, we can collectively reduce the stigma and discrimination often associated with it and create an environment where people feel safe and supported when seeking help.

Be sure to check our Employee Assistance program full resources on the topic. Here are few we selected to highlight.
