With a commitment to truth and service, Howard has produced over 150,000 graduates who excel in diverse industries. Howard offers a wide variety of programs, including science, engineering, and the arts, with a focus on social justice and global leadership.

Howard produces more African American graduates than any other university in the country, has the largest concentration of Black scholars on any college campus, ranks among the top colleges and universities in the U.S., and is recognized as a great academic investment for minority students.

Our University’s motto Veritas et Utilitas, Truth and Service, represents a key part of our identity.

We are committed to social justice in every field, uplifting what is true and right. The thread of social justice is intertwined in our life and culture and extends beyond the campus and throughout the world.

Charter Day Celebration

The 2025 Charter Day Dinner is Howard’s premier fundraising event where alumni gather in support of our alma mater, answering the call to educate exceptional men and women, regardless of their socioeconomic circumstances.

Your support of Charter Day not only aligns with our brand of excellence, but also advances the hopes and dreams of the next generation of students who will complete their degrees and become our leaders, innovators, problem solvers and changemakers.

Proceeds from the dinner directly address financial aid concerns of Howard students. Your contribution as a sponsor of the 2025 Charter Day Dinner will ensure that more deserving students achieve their dreams of obtaining a Howard degree.
