Civil Engineering, Class of 2026

With my multi-faceted interests, I have had the opportunity to cultivate a plethora of communities at Howard. I have a research community, a civil engineering community, a leadership community, and a dance community that all have come from different, memorable experiences at Howard. All of these different communities contributed to the larger equation that is my success.”
