BOWIE STATE UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2012 – 2013 ii MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

The 2012–2013 academic year brought exciting developments and recognitions to as we worked to better define who we are and the value we offer our students and the broader community. Input from all of our major constituent groups helped shape a new messaging campaign to better communicate the Bowie State University story. The result of this tremendous collaborative effort was a new marketing theme, “Find strength, Take pride,” that captures the essence of the BSU experience. It reaffirms our institutional commitment to offering an accessible education that provides a holistic academic experience in an inclusive environment that builds on a rich legacy of achievement. This is the message that is reflected in the highlights featured in this report. We want to spread it throughout the region and across the nation. As you read the following pages you will note the exemplary achievements of students, faculty and staff in areas across the university, as well as enhancements in academic and student services programs. Of particular note was the development of the Education Innovation Initiative (EI2), a career pathways program that expanded our emphasis on increasing hands-on experiences to ensure students are prepared for leadership in the workforce of tomorrow. At the same time, we maintain a commitment to our legacy in teacher education and celebrated another reaccreditation of our programs that marked 58 years of continuous approval. I am exceedingly proud of our talented faculty who continue to bring innovations into the classroom with new technology and collaborative teaching approaches that enhance student success. Partnerships with other institutions are making our programs accessible to more students in southern Maryland and other parts of the state. The growing support of our alumni and friends is playing a critical role in providing scholarships and other resources to advance student achievement. We greatly appreciate your increased giving that enables us to help more students maintain timely progress toward degree completion. I am honored to share this report with you and hope that, as you read it, you will gain a greater appreciation of the quality and value of the Bowie State University experience. Find Strength.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT BOWIE STATE UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2012 – 2013 1 REAL-WORLD CAREER PREPARATION Opening Career Pathways for Students

With the help of industry-leading Lockheed Martin, Bowie State University has opened doors for students to develop solutions to real-world problems while working with expert faculty and other technology professionals. The Education Innovation Initiative (EI2), Bowie State’s career pathways program, advances participation of students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). EI2 fellows will be introduced to next-generation technologies in cloud computing, cybersecurity and mobility. The program has also expanded opportunities for future corporate and government partnerships that will prepare students for leadership positions in STEM fields. Dhoruba Glover, one of the first EI2 fellows, never thought that as an undergraduate student he would have the experience of tackling real problems to help a client organization achieve critical goals. But that’s what he did in the summer of 2013. He mentored high school students as they worked on projects for the Prince George’s County Office of Information Technology. Their efforts were focused on deterring students from dropping out of high school and teaching senior citizens how to use email and social media. The EI2 program is the brainchild of 2001 Bowie State alumnus Traviss Green, chief technology transition officer with Lockheed Martin. Lockheed made an initial $10,000 investment to support The Maryland Center at Bowie State University in the development of the EI2 program and donated a $1.3 million FlexPod, a cloud computing device developed by NetApp and Cisco, with the capacity to operate multiple data networks. Green knows from experience that real-world work gives students the edge over their peers in the workforce. As a student, he gained hands-on experience working on a NASA Dhoruba Glover, one of the first mission at Bowie State through the Bowie Satellite Operations and Control Center Education Innovation Initiative (EI2) (BSOCC), which provided similar opportunities for students until fall 2012. fellows, accesses data stored on the “Lockheed Martin has made a commitment to invest in the training program’s $1.3 million FlexPod, a and mentoring of Bowie State students,” said Green. robust cloud computing device donated to Bowie State by corporate partner Lockheed Martin.

The College of Education built on its legacy of excellence in 2012 with the reaccreditation of its professional teacher programs for another seven years by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The programs have maintained continuous accreditation since 1954. The NCATE report recognized that the initial and advanced teacher preparation programs meet the rigorous evaluation standards and cited no areas for improvement. For College of Education Dean Traki Taylor- Webb, the reaccreditation with no areas for improvement cited ranks the college among the very few premiere institutions in the nation. “The accreditation process reaffirms the college’s legacy of excellence in program quality and the effectiveness in building school and community partnerships,” she said. Bowie State’s history of preparing outstanding educators in Maryland is what inspired Jackie Paul to apply to the College of Education after she visited the university on a college tour. As an early childhood/special education major completing her student-teacher assignment in a local elementary school, Paul values the preparation from the College’s expert faculty. “Everything in the College of Education curriculum will be needed when you step foot in the classroom,” she said. Since its founding in 1865, Bowie State has contributed significantly to the education of teachers throughout the state of Maryland and has continued to produce distinguished graduates who excel at the highest Jackie Paul, an early levels of the profession.

Nursing Program Expands to Southern Maryland

The Bowie State nursing program expanded its reach into southern Maryland, opening opportunities for graduate education for today’s nurses and filling a critical need for future healthcare jobs. Beginning in fall 2012, students at the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center began taking courses toward the Master of Science (MSN) degree, funded by a $276,000 grant from the University System of Maryland. The degree program prepares graduates for jobs as family nurse practitioners in clinical settings and as nursing educators in academic or medical workplaces. Dr. Devora Winkfield, the coordinator of the graduate nursing program, said that successful graduates from the MSN program are often sought out by employers because of a shortage in the number of advanced practice nurses and nursing educators. Future projections forecast an increasing gap in the workforce needs. On the main Bowie State campus, the demand for the MSN program has nearly tripled, with the enrollment jumping from 40 in fall 2009 to 115 in fall 2012, making it the second most popular graduate field of study that semester. In southern Maryland, there are nearly three applicants for every space available in the program.

Allissa Richardson challenges her communications students to use technology like iPads and iPods to tell stories. After being named a 2013 Apple Distinguished Educator, the lecturer has made strides to develop a distance-learning version of her popular online journalism course for not only local Bowie State students, but to teach people all over the world how to report stories. In the Bowie State mobile journalism lab, Richardson prepares students for careers creating content for websites, social media and mobile applications. The Distinguished Educator award provided additional resources for Richardson’s lab, so she can now equip every student in her online journalism course with an iPad. Students in other communications courses can borrow iPad Minis donated by Apple to practice mobile reporting techniques. “Being named an Apple Distinguished Educator really has opened doors for my students. Nearly every week, colleagues within the journalism industry contact me about internship or job opportunities,” she said. “In terms of my professional development, the ADE recognition has been invaluable. After attending the week-long camp in Austin, Texas, I really got interested in how I could use mobile devices to offer distance learning.” Richardson started to develop an online course for mobile journalism, which was set to launch in spring 2014. Richardson’s students have been able to practice their skills and make an impact covering high-profile events, including the spring 2013 commencement, where first lady Michelle Obama was the featured speaker. Richardson helped students James Harrison and Britney Pollard create short videos using iPads to capture footage of the ceremony and interviews of graduates and their families.

New Resource for Active Military, Veteran Students

Veteran and active military students gained a new option to increase their likelihood for success at Bowie State University when the Military Resource Center opened its doors in fall 2012. The center also helps the university actively recruit veterans to enroll as students. An initial $18,600 grant from the Thurgood Marshall College Fund provides resources to help recruit veterans to pursue degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. The university has made a commitment to embrace and support military and veteran students and has worked to recruit new students by strengthening relationships with community organizations. Located in Thurgood Marshall Library, students can use this office as a first point of contact to connect to campus and community support services. Continuing Education Director Jerry Isaac leads the center and helps students navigate their way through campus and community services to transition back into civilian life and help them thrive as students. Groups, like the Student Veterans Association, can use the center as a meeting place and a venue to host community speakers from organizations, such as the local chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). Because veteran students often need assistance accessing their federal education benefits, the Military Resource Center helps to simplify the process. The center also connects veteran students to community resources to help pay for living expenses, access mental health services and unite with a community of veterans who can relate to their experiences.

High-profile figures, ranging from longtime Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan to civil rights activist Angela Davis, addressed hundreds of students on campus in public forums organized by student leaders, sparking conversations about 1 topical issues including the value of higher education and the nature of freedom. Farrakhan delivered an inspirational message to students encouraging them to use their education to uplift their communities at a fall 2012 lecture, organized by the Student Government Association (SGA) and Black Male Agenda. The SGA leaders developed a lecture series to provide forums for the student body to engage with writers whose works explore significant issues. In her spring 2013 lecture, Davis explored prison reform and the intersection of women, race and class at a public lecture, sponsored by the Office of Commuter Affairs. Her lecture reflected themes from her 2012 book,The Meaning of Freedom and Other Difficult Dialogues, a collection of previously unpublished speeches addressing power, race, gender, class, incarceration and conservatism. The event was especially meaningful because many of Davis’s books, such as Women, Race & Class and An Autobiography, are consistently required texts in several Bowie State courses. U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) also shared his journey from a poor, single- parent household to becoming the first African American to represent South Carolina in the Senate. In an intimate talk hosted by Students for Liberty in spring 2 2013, Sen.
