Among those attending an articulation signing between College of Southern Maryland and Howard University Aug. 27 were Charles County Commissioners who congratulated the institutions for their partnership.Charles County Commissioner President Candice Quinn Kelly said, “This is a really exciting proud day for us. I think I’d be remiss if I did not mention Mr. Kwasi Holman, our executive director of our Department of Economic Development as well as his amazing staff. Behind every good idea—sometimes there’s a good wife—but really a good economic plan…There’s no greater gift we can give our children than to educate them. This is the beginning of what I believe is going to be a wonderful relationship.”

The College of Southern Maryland (CSM) and Howard University in Washington, D.C., have agreed to partner to promote successful undergraduate educational experiences for CSM students pursuing bachelor’s degrees at Howard. CSM currently has bachelor degree partnerships with more than 25 universities and colleges and continues to expand its partnerships to provide a seamless transition to local and statewide institutions.

“This is a general agreement bringing the two schools together for the benefit of providing a seamless transfer for CSM’s students. We look forward to working with the Howard University administrators in providing program-to-program transfers in the near future,” said James Spence, CSM’s senior coordinator of transfer services and articulation.

“This partnership is about access. It is all about ensuring that our students have the opportunity to get the education they deserve. We believe that access is essential for our students,” said CSM President Dr. Brad Gottfried.

“This [articulation agreement] is about employment and jobs and giving our young people opportunity to realize their dream. Our entering class this year at the university has the highest number of transfer students we have ever had,” said Howard Provost and Chief Academic Officer Dr. Wayne A.I. Frederick
