“Don’t rush past the people beside you. Many of the relationships you develop in college will last a lifetime.” During Howard University’s 159th Charter Day Convocation, alumnus, trustee, and business leader Donald B. Christian (BBA ’90) reflected on the power of connection, reminding the Howard community that the relationships formed here often shape the rest of our lives. For 159 years, Howard has been a place where voices from across the diaspora meet, connect, and grow together. #HowardUniversity #CharterDay #TheMecca #TruthAndService
