Homecoming 2025 Recap

Revival

The university celebrated the 101st anniversary of Howard’s homecoming, Oct. 19-26, 2025, and Howard’s uniqueness among the nation’s higher education institutions and its historic impact on communities, nation, and the world. Howard’s uniqueness as “One of One,” began in 1867 when the U.S. Congress made an unprecedent move to establish the university under a federal charter to create higher education opportunities for Black and brown people and others with limited options to pursue a college degree. Since its inception, Howard has stood as the first or the only across all sectors of society.
