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. 

The Ebony Tree (1968-1978)

The Ebony Tree format also varies in size and production method, and the quality of the scanned documents varies accordingly. Our holdings cover most of the decade from 1968-1978, and the first copy is the first edition of the paper, but we're unsure how long it was actually published. Again, our holdings are not comprehensive. This paper was produced during the presidency of Dr. Samuel Lloyd Meyers, and was a contentious time on campus as well as across the country. The Ebony Tree is much more political in tone than its predecessor.
