A major highlight of the academic year was the visit of the ambassador of Togo, Honorable Frédéric Edem Hegbe, and his delegation during International Education Week 2024. The visit featured traditional Togolese cuisine, cultural artifacts and conversations that gave the campus community a firsthand experience of Togo's heritage and traditions.
The delegation's participation also advanced a developing partnership between Bowie State University and the Embassy of Togo in Washington, D.C.

The ambassador's presence reinforced the university's growing profile in international collaboration and supported future opportunities for bilateral engagement.
This diplomatic visit demonstrated Bowie State's commitment to global connection and positioned the university as an emerging partner for international academic and cultural exchange.
