24 | Bowie state university 2009 Annual Report Financial Review

The nation’s and the state of Maryland’s fiscal condition presented many financial challenges for all of higher education. However, we are pleased to report that with the support and input from all members of Bowie State’s campus community, we persevered through the economic challenges of FY 2009. Last year the University continued to realign its resources to address institutional priorities and fulfill our dual mission. Moreover, we received good audits (unqualified audit of 2008 Financial Statement).

Although the financial audit for FY 2009 is still in progress, we feel the preliminary information presented below is an indication of the University’s efforts to strengthen the financial vitality of the University and continue to be a good investment for the state and an asset to the University System of Maryland.
