Pia Forbes
Why an HBCU? I wanted to study in an environment where my race and culture were assets to my growth and success.
How did it shape you? In addition to an unrivaled academic foundation, Howard gave me a network of friends/professionals who are as close as family.
Most significant memory? Every opportunity to connect with my HU fam is a lovefest, but homecomings are absolutely the golden time of year!
