The Howard University School of Education proudly celebrates Dr. Constance Ellison and Dr. Veronica Thomas—distinguished professors in the Department of Human Development and Psychoeducational Studies—as they prepare to retire at the close of the 2026–2027 academic year.

For more than two decades, Dr. Ellison and Dr. Thomas have advanced Howard University through transformative scholarship, dedicated teaching, institutional leadership, and meaningful service to students, colleagues, and the broader education community.

Dr. Ellison currently serves as Senior Associate Dean of Howard University’s Graduate School. Dr. Thomas, a professor in the School of Education, previously served as Interim Dean. Both have authored numerous publications and books that continue to shape the fields of human development, psychology, and education.
