"I believe Howard is a magical place. Walking across the yard and looking at the historic buildings on campus, you can't help but to feel the passion and work that has been cultivated in this space. It's mind blowing to just imagine the people who have stood in the places you are standing. Howard provides a space to find yourself as an individual and black person in society, simultaneously building confidence in both aspects. I will always say choosing Howard was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life and I will forever be greatful for the experiences, lessons, and networks it has provided for me." - Sydne' Barard, Biology Major #HU19
