Employee Recognition

Howard is a special place in large part because of the special commitment of its people. Thank you for your service and for helping to grow this venerable institution into a bright future.

While the conclusion of the academic year is traditionally dedicated to celebrating graduates and preparing for a new cohort of students joining our community in the coming months, it is also a time for reflection on the good work of our employees. The success of our students, the capacity of our institution, and Howard's standing in the community are all attributes of a committed and enthusiastic workforce. This is particularly true at Howard, where so many join and stay with the University because you believe in its mission, and work to live out this ethos in your work and service. 

Often what goes unnoticed in the steadiness of coming to work and embracing the tasks of a day, is how those days add up to create a profile of longevity. As of May 2022, just under eight percent of our 2,900+ employees have served the University for 25 years or more. We wish to salute our colleagues, friends, and co-workers who have made Howard a mainstay in their personal and professional callings.
