Morehouse College names Dr. DuBois Bowman as its new president

Get the Point!

Kudos to Dr DuBois Bowman, Morehouse Class of ‘92, on being named President earlier today! Morehouse Men worldwide, and members of the “Bloody” Psi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi, are thrilled by this outstanding selection!

Press Release from the Morehouse Office of Public Relations:

The Morehouse College Board of Trustees has named renowned public

health leader and biostatistician Dr. F. DuBois Bowman, a 1992 graduate of Morehouse, as the College's 13th president following a national search. Dr. Bowman will assume the role on July 15, 2025, succeeding President David A. Thomas, who concludes his tenure in June.

Dr. Bowman currently serves as dean of the University of Michigan School of Public Health and holds the Roderick J. Little Collegiate Professorship of Biostatistics. A nationally respected scholar, innovator, and academic leader, Bowman is a member of the National Academy of Medicine, a fellow of the American Statistical Association, and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

"Dr. Bowman's record of visionary leadership, his deep commitment to academic excellence, and his lifelong dedication to Morehouse make him the ideal choice to lead the College into its next era," said Willie Woods '85, chairman of the Morehouse College Board of Trustees. "He brings an extraordinary blend of intellectual rigor, strategic thinking, and values-driven leadership."

A proud Morehouse alumnus, member of Phi Beta Kappa, and Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Dr. Bowman has remained closely connected to his alma mater as a two-time Morehouse parent and a dedicated mentor, facilitating a University of Michigan pipeline program for students from Morehouse and Spelman colleges. In 2019, he was awarded the College’s highest award for alumni – the Bennie Trailblazer Award – named after the sixth president of the College, Dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays.

Congratulations and welcome back to The House, President-elect Bowman! Read more at news.morehouse.edu.

Again, welcome back home, Brother President Bowman, from Ol’ Hobbs and the “Legendary” Morehouse Class of ‘94. And I am PRAYING that my graduate school alma mater (and first academic love), Florida A&M University, strikes gold by selecting one of the only two candidates with similarly strong academic administrative experience, Dr. Donald Palm or Dr. Rondall Allen, later this week in Tallahassee!

Stay tuned…
