Bowie State University is a gem of a school right in the heart of Prince George's County. If you…read moreare considering college, pay them a visit to see it for yourself. I have come to events on campus many times over the years, but my most recent visit was eye-catching. Significant resources have been poured into the campus as new buildings and grand refurbishments and renovations continue apace. This should be the norm for all HBCUs around the country. It is a testament to the value the state places on its universities, although the level of investment pales in comparison to College Park. The quad is the envy of other schools, some with higher endowments, tuitions, and budgets. It is big enough that it feels like a university but still small enough to feel like home. My favorite feature/building/concept is the Entrepreneurship Living Learning Community (ELLC). Home to students who want to be entrepreneurs, here they live (brand new dorms), eat, and learn (classrooms and other spaces). There is a business and creative synergy that is self evident all throughout the space. I took a cohort of school age mentees for a tour and lunch at BSU. They were over-the-moon about the Student Center Dining Hall's food and modern decor. The food choices included fresh vegetables and fruits, custom made salads and bowls, hand crafted pizza, grilled to order items, and high quality rotating items from a self-serve bar. The seating area had huge windows where the sunlight shone through. The academic and recreational buildings were top tier. But what struck me most was the energy, passion, and intelligence of the students and faculty. They treated my mentees like little brothers coming to campus to learn from older siblings. The students seemed supportive of each other. D9 organizations got along too., but the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc. always raise the bar. Bowie State University should be proud of the work they continue to do and the student needs they continue to meet. Five stars easily earned!

This woman has failed to deliver my message to the delegates and executives of the organization. I had repeatedly requested to have my voice heard from the traumatic, and prejudice experienced that I had endured. Due to the, unprofessional interviewer Gsheneworke Bekele; this interviewer was campaigning to make false allegations against my wife giving me answers during my interview. This women saw read that I was in an interracial married and were making inappropriate scenarios questions related to my life, married, and family. After, informing the person, Sara Fostered, who is supposed to investigate and mitigate this situation about this tragedy. This poorly managed worker responded back with a completely dismissive statement regarding everything that I had informed her throughout my interview process was my fault. She just chopped out & swept under the rug stating thatI should have lesser noises occurring in my background. Where is the facts of that? what oblivious and obnoxious noises were there? For Pete sake we live a metropolitan area and at that in busy city and an apartment. I feel completely ashamed and embarrassed about myself because of these people. To add injury to insult, they constantly accused me of seeking help from my wife (do you view me as incompetent person, impotent person)? Please, refer to title xl manager Sara Foster and Gsheneworke Bekele. Not to mention, the interviewer herself; Ms. Gsheneworke was the person completely dishonest and distracted throughout the interview. She was constantly looking over to some individual in her area; she was making hand gestures to the individual constantly. Forgetting were she left off on the questions she was asking because she was distracted. Moreover, she was having connectivity issues on her end because she alluded to there being lag throughout our entire interview (I heard everything completely fine and answered the questions promptly). To expand further, she kept falsely claiming and insinuating that the "internet connection was staggering her". Additionally, she mentioned very incoherent and inappropriate scenarios questions which she questioned "what if there is a crying baby in your background how would you resolve that issue during your studies" and "what if there is a aggressive or angry woman in who writes a ticket for an issues, how would you respond to that" the way how she stated the question seemed personal and very passionate. Furthermore, she was very focused on my wife trying to soothe our newborn daughter who is 3 month old by hushing her and talking to her in a low voice and gentle voice because she was aware and knew how important this interview was for me. Also, I had sent them an email this morning but I haven't heard anything back yet.

Mary Poppins has landed in Crofton and her name is Mrs. Sing!…read more Denise Singh, affectionately and aptly known as "Mrs. Sing" around these parts, is the owner of Mrs. Sing's Kidsmusicart. Classes are offered in Bowie, Crofton, College Park, and Alexandria. The Crofton Center opened just last year in an office building that's adjacent to the pond where the snakehead fish was found a few years ago (remember that?). The program occupies two immaculately-clean suites which Mrs. Sing has divided into three classrooms, a snack/play area, and a waiting area. There are also two spotless bathrooms. Mrs. Sing and her staff's commitment to children is evident from the moment that you walk into the Center. Students' artwork is prominently displayed, and there are volumes of scrapbooks filled with pictures of former and current students. The Center is stocked with high-quality instruments, toys, games, and art supplies. The Center offers parent-child classes as well as independent classes. Chickadee (age 3) has been enrolled in both types of classes and has enjoyed them. The age range for the various classes is infant through teenager. Most recently, Chickadee was enrolled in "Arts in the A.M." (ages 3-4.5) which includes music, art, and movement classes. The curriculum is as thorough as any preschool program, and the teachers are all highly trained and have wonderful interactions with the children. There is a theme for each week and an overall theme for the course (15 weeks [which can be pro-rated as well]). As a part of this course, the children take a break mid-morning and have a parent-provided snack. Chickadee felt so grown up taking a lunch box to her "program." I have to admit, it is adorable to see all of those little munchkins together! Most classes include at-home materials as well. In the past, these have included instruments, books, and/or audio CDs. We've tried several parent-child classes around the area, but I've been most impressed with Mrs. Sing's Kidsmusicart program. The staff, facility, and curricula are all top-notch.

To deal with kids all day long at this age is impressive. The administrator/owner of the center is always cheerful around the parents, although I'm sure behind the scenes it is much different for the personnel. My suggestions for the center would be to upgrade some of the "old school" look of the center such as the TV and maybe the color and wood. Lots of ants are complained about by my child. Additionally, some of the fees are steep but somewhat manageable because you are to break up the payments if the need arises. Summer fees are not really explained especially when you are providing the lunch. Graduation fees are ridiculous since they will not be able to wear the gown again because of size and color. A graduation hat with them wearing white would be more reasonable financially or maybe a program where you give them back and just borrow them for that day. PreK graduation is not essential IMO.

I also want to give a special shout-out to Ms. Amelia for being such a great instructor and really making sure we understood the material and felt confident in our skills. My only regret is that I didn't enroll sooner. I first learned about this program during the pandemic, and I wish I had taken the class then. If you're considering this program, I highly recommend it.
