(BOWIE, Md.) - Bowie State University President Aminta Breaux has been named to The Maryland Daily Record's 2024 Higher Education Power List joining other higher education presidents, administrators, faculty and policy makers from across Maryland on the coveted roll.

The publication noted one of Breaux's greatest accomplishments has been increasing the university's endowment from $7 million in 2018 to $45 million in 2024. As the endowment grows, more scholarship dollars are available for students which reduces student loan debt.

The paper's editorial team chose who would be on the list with input from readers and other individuals.
