Let’s talk about a full-circle moment. F. DuBois Bowman, a proud Morehouse man from the Class of ’92, is headed back—but this time, he’s running the place. Starting July 15, 2025, he’ll step into the role of president, and let’s be real: this isn’t just a career win; it’s a community win.

Why this matters:

• He’s a public health powerhouse (currently dean at University of Michigan).
  
• He’s bringing innovation, equity, and leadership chops.
  
• He knows the Morehouse culture from the inside out.
  

What makes this appointment truly special is Bowman’s proven ability to lead with both compassion and precision. As dean, he led groundbreaking research in public health while ensuring marginalized communities were front and center in every conversation. That same energy is expected at Morehouse.

At Black Pages International, we’re hyped for what this means—not just for Morehouse, but for the ripple effect it’ll have across HBCUs and Black-led institutions. Bowman’s leadership is proof that when we invest in our own, the returns are limitless. And yes—we’ll be there connecting students and alumni to business opportunities every step of the way.

For students looking ahead to their careers, this is the type of leadership that provides both a role model and a roadmap. Bowman’s work blends data, policy, and vision—exactly the toolkit today’s graduates need. Alumni now have a renewed reason to reinvest time and resources in their alma mater.

Meanwhile, Black professionals everywhere should take a beat to reflect on how their own experiences and leadership might help shape institutions. Morehouse is just one of many Black institutions that thrives when it stays connected to the community it represents. Bowman gets that.

We’ll be watching, cheering, and connecting. Black Pages International is already exploring ways to host alumni-business mixers, innovation summits, and student pitch competitions to connect talent with opportunity.

Let’s keep this momentum going—because Black leadership like Bowman’s isn’t just necessary; it’s powerful.
