Morgan Stanley
The University is proud to participate in the @Morgan.Stanley HBCU Scholars program, which will begin in the Fall 2021 semester. This generous commitment from Morgan Stanley will provide full scholarships and living expenses for 60 students at the nation’s top historically Black colleges and universities. Including five academic and needs-based scholarships to Howard students over the next four years.
Homecoming 2020 theme ‘Advocacy’ Although we could not gather in person, I was excited about this year’s virtual Homecoming. “Advocacy” captures the energy of this moment in our society and the need to ensure that our great University will continue producing the scholars and leaders our society needs to continue forward.
Lilly Endowment I am delighted to share that the Howard University School of Divinity (HUSD) has received a $1M grant from the Lilly Endowment, Incorporated, a private philanthropic foundation that supports the causes of community development, education and religion. This is the largest gift made to the School of Divinity in its recent history, and I am grateful this contribution has come in the school’s 150th anniversary year. This contribution will specifically support HUSD’s new Ethical Leadership and Racial Justice Initiative, which will support students in their quest to use their theological training to solve the nation’s socio-political, economic and moral crises. The funding will go toward creating a cohort program for students whose academic interests align with ethical leadership and racial justice.
#MentalHealthDay 2020 This year has been challenging for all of us. Being confined and unable to be around loved ones has the ability to affect our mental health. On #MentalHealthDay2020, let’s take some time to encourage others – and ourselves – to communicate how we feel.
JHUAN Giving Initiative
The Jamaican Howard University Affinity Network (JHUAN) was formed through the collaboration of Jamaican Ambassador to the United States Audrey Marks and President Wayne A. I. Frederick, M.D., MBA. Ambassador Marks, with President Frederick’s co-sponsorship, asked that an organization be formed to provide greater support to Jamaican students at Howard University, and they charged a Jamaican and Howard University graduate, Don Christian, to serve as the founding chairman. Ambassador Marks and President Frederick established the key mandates of the organization as follows:
Identify ways to give back to Howard University.
Serve as mentors to Jamaican students enrolled at Howard University.
Assist students financially through the establishment of a fund at Howard University.
JHUAN was formally launched in the Summer of 2018 with the formation of an Executive Committee charged with fulfilling the mandate of the organization. Howard University and the Jamaican community have had a long-standing relationship for more than 100 years, and Howard has been the University of choice for hundreds of Jamaican nationals who have either remained to work in the United States, returned to the island and have done extremely well professionally, or have made their mark in other areas globally. With rising costs of a college education and ever declining resources available to college-bound children and their families, JHUAN is bound by the principle that it will provide students with the opportunity, where possible, to complete their studies with the hope that they too will give back to others in the years to come.
