Greetings, Members of the Montgomery County Chapter,

Please accept my heartfelt congratulations on the enduring success and impact of your annual Scholarship Luncheon Gala. Reflecting on that achievement, I remain genuinely impressed by the dedication and strategic effort your chapter invests in organizing such a high-caliber event.

As we move through 2026, and with the help of your Chapter, the Bowie State University National Alumni Association (BSUNAA) has reached significant new milestones. Over the last year, we have successfully expanded our restorative leadership initiatives, strengthened our engagement with alumni, increased membership to more than 1,400 alumni, increased advocacy for institutional funding, provided $10K in student scholarships, received more than $60K in funding, and launched the inaugural BSUNAA Alumni Hall of Fame. These accomplishments are not just organizational victories; they are a direct result of the collective strength found in chapters like yours.

The importance of actively supporting our alumni association cannot be overstated. It is through our unified engagement that we continue our legacy of excellence and provide the critical resources necessary for the next generation of scholars. Our work ensures that the value of a Bowie State degree continues to rise and that our network remains a powerful force for professional and community development.

Your chapter’s consistent generosity in providing scholarships is a testament to your exceptional leadership. By empowering these deserving individuals, you are ensuring the bright future of our young scholars and the continued vitality of our association.

As lifelong Bulldogs, let us remain steadfast in our commitment to one another and to the institution that shaped us. Thank you for your unwavering dedication to our shared mission.

With gratitude and Bulldog Pride,

Stephanie V. Overton Stanard, PhD
