Director of Alumni Relations
Howard University
Nestled in the heart of the nation’s capital, Howard University is one of the most renowned destinations for higher education in the country. Ranked as the No. 2 HBCU (historically Black college or university) in the country, Howard is committed to advancing its mission to provide an “educational experience of exceptional quality” and is buoyed by its motto: excellence in truth and service. Since the onset of the pandemic, the University has closed the largest philanthropic gifts of its nearly 155-year history. Alumni giving has increased almost two-fold, and the University has seen a double-digit increase in applications for the past three years. Boasting a legacy of iconic alumni like U.S. Vice President Kamala D. Harris and the late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, the proud tradition of Howard University is poised for unprecedented acceleration.
