Bowie State student leveraging grant money to brighten a safe space for the school’s LGBTQ+ community

Bowie State University’s LGBTQIA Resource Center, which has been operating for over a decade, is set to get a face-lift paid for with a grant won by Paige Hoskins, a junior at the school. House of Bowie, previously known as the Gay-Straight Alliance, is a student-run organization with a mission to “defend, protect, celebrate and educate” queer students and allies through programming like book clubs, bingo and soirees, Hoskins said.
