At Bowie State University, there were many examples of excellence throughout the campus in the 2016–17 fiscal year. Faculty and administrators, like Department of Counseling Chairperson Dr. Roslyn Green, worked to ensure that our academic programs receive national accreditations, signaling the strengths of our offerings. Students like Jesuye David, together with his faculty mentor, demonstrated excellence as David presented their research on a national stage. Staff members like Robert Batten made us proud by winning the highest award presented to staff of University System of Maryland institutions by the Board of Regents. The year also marked the opening of the $102 million Center for Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Nursing, a transformational center for innovation in teaching, research and scholarship. Our student-athletes also gave us much to celebrate. Four teams made it to the championships in their respective sports, and the women’s bowling and men’s basketball teams won conference titles. Our supporters like Timothy Adams continue to make long-term investments in the future of Bowie State students and the viability of the institution. He established an endowed scholarship over a decade ago, which, through ongoing contributions, was valued at nearly $180,000 in 2017. Since July 2017 when I began as the 10th president of Bowie State University, I have encountered countless individuals who represent the pride and spirit of Bowie State University. I salute the faculty, staff, students, alumni and supporters who make a difference at Bowie State every day. Aminta H.

Two of Bowie State University’s counseling programs achieved that distinction when they received national accreditation, making Bowie State one of three Maryland universities and the only University System of Maryland school with this honor. The recognition elevates the profile of the already well-respected master’s degree programs in mental health counseling and school counseling. Dr. Roslyn Green, chair of the Department of Counseling, led the team charged with managing the accreditation effort. The accreditation from Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs (w) extends through March 2019. Both programs met the requirements of a thorough evaluation of hands-on learning experiences, faculty qualifications, academic support and student selection, among other criteria. Graduates from CACREP-accredited programs are highly recruited by employers — in fact, three federal agencies require counselors to graduate from programs with the CACREP accreditation before they can work with their populations. The Bowie State programs require students to complete an extensive curriculum of foundational and advanced courses, as well as hundreds of hours of clinical work. Graduates are prepared to become licensed or certified counselors. 3 Bowie State University 2016–2017 Annual Report Back to Table of Contents ACADEMICS AND RESEARCH The class of 2020 helped boost the university's total enrollment.

PUB TYPE Historical MatPrials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Black Colleges; Black History; Black Students; *Educational History; Higher Education; Racial Bias; Racial Segregation; School Desegregation; State Colleges; State Legislation; State Universities; Whites IDENTIFIERS *African Americans; Bowie State College MD; Coppin State College MD; *Maryland; Morgan State University MD; University of Maryland Eastern Shore ABSTRACT This paper presents a history of four historically Black colleges in Maryland: Bowie State University, Coppin State College, Morgan State University, and the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore. The history begins with a section on the education of Blacks before 1800, a period in which there is little evidence of formal education for African Americans despite the presence of relatively large numbers of free Blacks thronghout the state. A section on the education of Blacks from 1800 to 1900 describes the first formal education of Blacks, the founding of the first Black Catholic order of nuns, and the beginning of higher education in the state after the Civil War. There follow sections on each of the four historically Black institutions in Maryland covering the founding and development of each, and their responses to social changes in the 1950s and 1960s. A further chapter describes the development and manipulation of the Out of State Scholarship Fund which was established to fund Black students who wished to attend out of state institutions for courses offered at the College Park, Maryland campus and other White campuses from which they were barred.

    Office of Communications & Public Relations Relationsresident (484) 365-7250 Fax (484) 365-8067 For Release: Immediately Contact: Maureen Stokes Date: Sept. 19, 2016 Email: [email protected] Statement from Lincoln University Interim President Richard Green Touting Progress of University “In my report to the Lincoln University Board of Trustees in its September 17, 2016 meeting, I was pleased to present the state of the university and to highlight some of the significant events at the institution since the April 2016 meeting of the Board. The student enrollment has increased by 11 percent this current academic year, with a total fall enrollment of 2,131 compared to 1,905 at this time last year. Despite the 2015- 2016 State budget impasse, Lincoln University ended its 2016 Fiscal Year with a balanced budget without the need to borrow funds or reduce positions to meet its obligations. The financial health of Lincoln is sound and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania appropriation for the current year has been received ensuring a continuing position of fiscal strength for 2016-17. The increase in enrollment recorded for this academic year represents the second consecutive year that student enrollment figures have increased at the university. To accommodate this welcomed increase Rendall Hall was renovated in record time and now serves as the on campus residence for 95 students. There were a few last minute adjustments that had to be made to make sure the Rendall residents were properly accommodated in time for the start of classes. A number of faculty and administrative vacancies resulting from retirements and resignations were filled since the last Board meeting.
