Howard University stands in solidarity with the people of Colombia, Nepal and Tibet following the devastating earthquake in Colombia and the glacier collapse and subsequent flooding in Nepal and Tibet.

Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and all those whose lives and communities have been affected. We recognize that these tragedies are especially difficult for members of the Howard community with family, friends and loved ones in these regions.

Yesterday, members of our community gathered on The Yard for a vigil to support and comfort one another. We are grateful to all who came together in a moment that reflected the compassion, care and sense of community that define Howard.

To our Colombian, Nepalese and Tibetan students, faculty and staff: Howard University stands with you. Support is available across the University, including counseling and mental health services, pastoral care, international student services, academic support and employee resources.

We encourage our entire University community to continue extending compassion, patience and care to those affected as we stand together with our Colombian, Nepalese and Tibetan communities.

In Truth and Service.

AI is changing every field. Howard is preparing students to understand it, use it and question it.

Howard University has launched its first Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence Certificate Program for undergraduate students, giving juniors and seniors across all majors the opportunity to build foundational AI knowledge and applied skills, with no prior AI experience required.

The new nine-credit program explores everything from machine learning and generative AI to ethical and responsible AI, while giving students opportunities to apply what they learn within their own disciplines.

As AI continues to reshape industries and society, Howard is preparing students not simply to use emerging technologies, but to understand their benefits, risks and broader implications.

A fresh cut, blowout or manicure just got a whole lot closer. Howard University has partnered with alumnus Dr. Chet Alan Bennett (M.Ed. ’96) and Bennett Career Institute to bring professional barbering, hair and nail services directly to campus.

The new C. Alan Barber Salon at Drew Hall and C. Alan Hair Salon at The Quad offer convenient, appointment-based services designed with students and their schedules in mind, from lineups and natural hair care to blowouts, conditioning treatments, manicures and pedicures.

For Bennett, the partnership is also a homecoming. Nearly 30 years after earning his master’s degree from Howard and launching what would become Bennett Career Institute, he’s returning to serve a new generation of Bison.
