Bowman Society
The Bowman Society Lecture Series commenced in 2005 through the generous support of Dr. James E. Bowman, Professor Emeritus in the Departments of Pathology and Medicine, and the Biological Sciences Division’s first tenured African-American Professor. Dr. Bowman’s legacy is one of excellence and distinguished service.
The Bowman Society seeks to honor Dr. Bowman’s legacy by bringing the University community together to focus attention on scholarship that is important to the health care of minority communities and to provide support and career development to individuals at all levels of training in order to support multicultural diversity in the Biological Sciences Division.
