Center for Sickle Cell Disease 50th Anniversary - Letter from the President

Dear Howard University Community,
 
September is National Sickle Cell Awareness Month, a time where we must renew our efforts and reconcentrate our energy in advocating for those who suffer from sickle cell disease. Only through dedicated research can we develop treatments and, ultimately, find a cure for this affliction that affects more than 100,000 people in the United States.
 
This year, however, the month of September is particularly meaningful as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Howard University Center for Sickle Cell Disease.

Largest Alumni Donation in Howard History

Dear Howard University Community,
 
When Howard alumni graduate from Alma Mater, their diplomas do not serve as a ticket to leave the Mecca behind. Rather, their diplomas are a symbol of their eternal connection to Howard University and the students on our campus. This connection affords our alumni the means and the opportunity to play a vital role in the lives of current and future Howard students.

HEERF III Student Funding Disbursement

Dear Howard University Community, 

We are proud of our campus and the progress that we have been making to protect our community from the far-reaching ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the circumstances we all face, our student body grew to nearly 12,000 students this year, with the majority of the Howard University student body returning to continue their education. However, we understand that the pandemic’s economic impact continues to be felt acutely by many in our community.
