159 years strong. During Howard University’s Charter Day Convocation, alumnus and business leader Donald B. Christian (BBA ’90) reminded the Howard community of a simple but powerful truth: connection matters. From the voices of the diaspora heard across The Yard to the lifelong relationships formed here, Howard has always been a place where people, ideas, and purpose meet. As we celebrate our 159th year, we continue the legacy of Excellence in Truth and Service ... building connections that shape lives, communities, and the future. #HowardUniversity #CharterDay #TheMecca #TruthAndService
