Howard Alumni:

I am pleased to share with you the highlights of The Campaign for Howard, which has become the most successful campaign of any African-American institution in history. The Campaign raised $275 million exceeding the campaign goal of $250 million by 10 percent.

As you may recall, the impetus of the Campaign centered around three main thrusts: to strengthen the University's academic programs, support more endowed scholarships, professorships and chairs; and build and refurbish academic facilities.

The following link provides a summary of the impact of the Campaign for Howard gifts and pledges.

We applaud the tremendous success of the Campaign and I offer my sincerest gratitude to all who contributed their services and resources. Let me acknowledge the great leadership displayed throughout the Campaign by Trustee Richard Parsons, Chairman of the Development Committee, and other members of the committee. The entire University Community extends its thanks to you.

Go Bison!


Sincerely,
H. Patrick Swygert
President
