Dear
Alumni and Friends,
Each
academic year proves to be an
exciting time for the University
family. We continue to attract
the best and the brightest students
to the University and implement
many changes to strengthen our
commitment to Leadership for
America and the Global Community.
Several activities during the
past year showcased the University’s
environment and gave alumni
and friends an opportunity to
observe campus improvements.
The complete restoration of
Howard Hall is but one of many
important initiatives. I
invite you to take part in The
Founders Walk, the engraved
brick paver program which provides
the University family an opportunity
to participate in shaping the
campus for future generations.
Through this program, you can
have your name or the name of
a loved one engraved on a brick
in the plaza and walkway which
lead to Howard Hall. The sale
of the pavers endows the development
and maintenance of Howard Hall,
our oldest structure and the
home of one of the University’s
founders, as the National Alumni
Center.

Please
take this important opportunity
to become a living part of
the tradition and spirit that
are uniquely Howard University.
Your support of this initiative
is completely tax-deductible.
Yours
truly,
H.
Patrick Swygert (B.A. 1965,
J.D. 1968)
President Emeritus, Howard University
 
Become

is uniquely

Howard
Hall has been restored.
Built in 1869, it was
the home of one of Howard
University’s founders,
General Oliver O. Howard.
The newly renovated building
will become the National
Alumni Center. As Howard
University’s oldest
standing structure, it
provides an architecturally
rich context to showcase
the University’s
long and proud history.
Founders
Walk, a pathway leading
to Howard Hall, will recount
the milestones of the
University’s proud
heritage through engraved
bricks which reflect the
important roles played
by individuals, organizations,
and other members of the
University family. This
brick paver program is
an opportunity to honor
and celebrate someone
who deserves your esteem
with a gift of immortality.
In
addition to being a unique
gift opportunity, each
contribution you
make will help endow the
legacy of Howard Hall
for future generations.
Engrave a brick for yourself.
Honor a loved one, a favorite
faculty or staff member,
or a special memory from
your school days. |
