“Open House influenced my decision to attend Howard University because of the engagement of the students. One of the key phrases that a student said was “every Howard student is fulfilling a service.” Then I knew that each student was not just matriculating through Howard as an average student. Being a Bison meant more; it stands for a reflection of self as a well rounded individual of success, who gives back to the community. I imagined then and still today that I am that person.”
