Community Service
Annual Report
Service to the nation has been, and continues to be, one
of the primary missions of Howard University.
The Service Annual Report, prepared by the Office of
University Research and Planning and the Howard
University Community Association, provides the reader
a fraction of the many city and community activities in
which the Howard University faculty, staff, students,
alumni and retirees are engaged.
Howard University offers over 100 programs, services
and activities that are available to the public. These
include: career counseling, development and exploration
programs; consumer services; cultural, recreational
and athletic programs; health education, screening
and clinical services; and activities with District of
Columbia Public Schools.
The Howard University Community Association is
the principal point of contact between the University
and the community at large. It is the focus for ongoing
University planning efforts known as The LeDroit Park
Initiative which encompass development of the Georgia
Avenue Corridor. It also houses the University’s
AmeriCorps, Jumpstart and Project C.H.A.N.G.E.
programs. On a daily basis, it provides information
and referral services about University events, programs
and activities. It also provides the University family
with information about important community events
and initiatives.
On a quarterly basis, the Association convenes its
Community Advisory Committee comprised of
community members, University staff, faculty and
students. The group’s mission includes:
• Strengthening the University’s relationship with
its neighbors through ongoing dialogue designed to
exchange information about University and community
projects and events; explore University-community
partnership opportunities; and acquire insights about
community sentiments that may be useful in informing
decision-making.
• Augmenting the University’s value as a community
resource through its community development and human
resource initiatives; the dissemination of information on
University-sponsored programs, activities and services;
and its service corps programs.
