Welcome to Howard University – a national treasure – with leadership and excellence yesterday, today and tomorrow. The more than 10,000 students on our four campuses contribute to a learning community engaged in scholarship and service. We encourage discovery and innovation and are on the move towards becoming a major research institution. At Howard, we take pride in our dynamic student body, in our committed faculty and staff as well as in our alumni who have helped define our mission for nearly 15 decades.

Whether you are a current or future student, alumnus, faculty or staff member, long-time friend or first-time visitor—there is something here for you. Please take a moment to explore this Web site to get to know Howard University. I invite you to see our achievements and challenges and to find answers to questions about our present and future academic direction, as well as, the fiscal matters that affect our efforts. We will share audio and video links to help you get more detailed information. I invite you to watch, listen and provide feedback.

From this site, you can learn about

• The academic priorities driving our vision;
• The current presidential initiatives launched to help the University align financial resources with our academic priorities;
• The University’s rich legacy of undergraduate, graduate and professional study;
• Other pertinent news.

More than 100,000 have graduated from the University and have had an impact on the nation and the world. At Howard, we do more than honor legacies; we build upon them and make them more than words. We use them as examples of what can be as we urge our students to have a sense of history, of self and of service.

Take the next step and learn more. Welcome to Howard University!

Sincerely,

Sidney A. Ribeau
President
