I look forward to October/Fall, for two reasons:
- My birthday
- Howard Homecoming
I had a great birthday, thank you all for all the birthday wishes!
Now it’s time for my favorite fall activity.
(1) What can you expect at Howard University Homecoming?
You can expect a fashion show, a family reunion and lots of Bison pride.
For alums, homecoming is all about reconnecting with long time friends, reflecting on the many memories made at Howard and giving back.
In doing so, many use their wardrobes as a form of self expression.
You’ll see casual, but fashion forward outfits, at the game and tailgate.

Depending on your budget, you can find fun events that are free or events ranging from $20 – $100. The common thread will be good music and good vibes.
