(BOWIE, Md.) – The University System of Maryland at Southern Maryland (USMSM) is hosting BSU Day to highlight and promote the degree programs Bowie State University is offering through the regional education center. The event will be held on May 8 at the Grand Hall in the Southern Maryland Autonomous Research and Technology (SMART) Building.

Recruiters and admissions staff will be on site to share information about Bowie State’s undergraduate programs in criminal justice, computer science, as well as graduate programs for human resource development and nursing. Bowie State hopes BSU Day can highlight the university’s presence at the USMSM campus and allow potential students to access the university’s programs without facing commuting challenges.

“People who live in southern Maryland and don’t want to travel or may work and can’t make that hour or two-hour drive to Bowie State’s campus, they can go to the regional center,” said Kimetta Hairston, the Assistant Vice President of Regional Centers and Online Programs.

BSU Day also offers Bowie State a chance to share some of the fun and flair that comes with attending an HBCU to southern Maryland. Bowie State will have appearances from the mascots and cheerleading squad, as well as a live DJ to share the Bulldog spirit with the regional center.

“We want students to understand who we are as Bowie State and what we have to offer them in their home area,” said Dr. Carol Moye, Director Liaison to Regional Centers.
