159 years strong. During Howard University’s Charter Day Convocation, alumnus and business leader Donald B. Christian (BBA ’90) reminded the Howard community of a simple but powerful truth: connection matters. From the voices of the diaspora heard across The Yard to the lifelong relationships formed here, Howard has always been a place where people, ideas, and purpose meet. As we celebrate our 159th year, we continue the legacy of Excellence in Truth and Service ... building connections that shape lives, communities, and the future. #HowardUniversity #CharterDay #TheMecca #TruthAndService

The Howard University College of Medicine remains fully accredited. The recent LCME notification includes probationary, which means close monitoring, related to documentation and measurable outcomes until the 2028 review period. Our students’ degrees remain valid, and our ability to educate and graduate physicians has not changed.  For 158 years, we’ve advanced health equity and trained leaders in medicine. That work continues with rigor and without interruption. We are confident that the progress already achieved positions us strongly for the next review cycle.

Howard Swimming & Diving just delivered a historic sweep at the NEC Championships with both the men’s and women’s teams bringing home conference titles. The men secured back-to-back championships, while the women captured their first in program history. As the only HBCU with a Division I swimming & diving program, this moment goes beyond medals. It’s representation, excellence, and proof that Bison show up to compete and to lead. #HowardUniversity #BisonPride #HUYouKnow Read More on The Dig: thedig.howard.edu/all-stories/ho…

Science in the lab. Impact on the Hill. Howard Biology Ph.D. candidates Olabisis Atofarati and Chukwudi Ikegwu have been selected for the Ecological Society of America’s 2026 Graduate Student Policy Award, becoming the first Howard recipients since the program’s launch in 2007. From aquatic ecosystems and conservation genomics to amphibian biodiversity and environmental DNA, their research is already shaping how we understand fragile ecosystems across the globe. Now, they’ll take that expertise to Washington, engaging directly with policymakers to ensure science informs environmental decisions. Evidence. Advocacy. Action.

“Full of Strength.” And full of truth. This Charter Day, Howard honors Dr. Jelani Cobb (B.A. ’94), dean of Columbia Journalism School, historian, documentarian, and one of the nation’s most essential voices on race, politics, and power. From writing raps in New York to writing for The New Yorker, from studying the Black Diaspora at The Mecca to leading one of the world’s top journalism schools, Cobb’s foundation was forged right here. “With the exception of my family… no other institution has had as much of an impact on who I am as Howard.” At Howard, he learned that if you only know half the story, you hardly know it at all. He learned to scrutinize power, not chase it. And he embraced a name that means exactly what he embodies: Jelani, “full of strength.” “You have to be prepared to do something simple but deceptively complicated… tell the truth.” Truth and Service. In action. Full Article On The Dig: thedig.howard.edu/all-stories/fu… #HowardUniversity #CharterDay
