“I am honored to be recognized with such dynamic and influential women leaders in the Daily Records 2020 class of Maryland’s Top 100 Women, said President Breaux. “As the first woman president of Maryland’s first historically black college or university (HBCU), I am grateful to have been afforded an opportunity to build my career on providing thousands of young people with access to quality education that transforms lives. My passion for public education is what inspires me every day, advancing public education.”
“Dr. Breaux has served as the visionary 10th president of Bowie State University since 2017, bringing more than 30 years of diverse higher education leadership experience. She is committed to ensuring that every Bowie State University student develops an entrepreneurial mindset to achieve success in rapidly changing workplaces and communities. She initiated a university-wide focus to infuse entrepreneurship education across the disciplines and has led the effort to build an Entrepreneurship Living-Learning Community, slated to open in fall 2021. She also brought the Saxbys Experiential Learning Program to the campus, which recently celebrated the opening of the coffee and social impact company’s first exclusively student-run café at an HBCU.”
“Dr. Breaux is a leading voice in 21st century education, and because of her extensive knowledge and expertise, she has been tapped to serve in multiple leadership roles. She was appointed to the President’s Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities and the Governor’s P-20 Leadership Council of Maryland. She is Vice Chair for the Board of Directors for the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), Bowie State’s athletic conference.
