Douglas Bowen is Morehouse College's Class of 2017 Valedictorian

5/25/2017

 

Jamaican-born Douglas Bowen, an economics major from Montego Bay was  one of two valedictorians honored at Morehouse College's Class of 2017 graduation for achieving a perfect 4.0 grade point average. 

​Bowen will graduate with the E.B. Williams Award for being a top scholar in the Division of Business Administration and Economics and for having the highest grade point average in economics.
​
Bowen is a first generation college student who was also the valedictorian of his high school in Jamaica. He received a full scholarship to Morehouse and maintained straight A’s throughout his years at Morehouse. He enrolled in challenging courses and surrounded himself with a circle of friends who shared his academic focus, including co-valedictorian Michael Scott. 
Bowen also gained work experience. He served as an intern at Deloitte Consulting and Merchant Bank. He also traveled to London and Berlin with the Division of Business Administration’s Spring Tour business and cultural exchange program.

Bowen says that he is “elated” about his being named as a valedictorian for the second time. “The College beckoned, and I answered, and have been grateful ever since and humbled by these last four years,” he said.

After graduation, Bowen will work full-time as a financial analyst for BDT Capital Partners, a leading financial firm in Chicago.
