Employee Profiles

Bowie State University’s Staff Council is proud to launch a new employee recognition initiative designed to celebrate staff who are making meaningful contributions within their departments while helping to advance the university’s strategic plan, core values and mission.

The individuals highlighted for Fall 2025 represent the first group to be recognized through this initiative, with additional honorees to be celebrated in the spring and summer.
