Dean Rashad definitely deserves her flowers. Not only is she (still) a phenomenal actor, but she has always represented Black women with dignity, class, and style. She is the true definition of a legend. Much respect!

how have standards been raised?

June 5, 2024 -- Autodesk Inc., the global leader in software for the Design and Make industries, announced today a $5 million gift to Howard University’s College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA) – the largest unrestricted philanthropic donation in CEA’s history. This record-setting gift will ensure that Howard’s new state-of-the-art Design and Make lab will have the software, cutting-edge equipment, and educators to teach aspiring engineers for years to come.

“We are immensely grateful for Autodesk’s gift to Howard’s College of Engineering and Architecture,” said Howard University president Ben Vinson III, Ph.D. “Howard is a leader in graduating Black engineers, and this gift will expand our ability to provide our students with the best and latest resources throughout the course of their education here. This is increasingly important to us as competition for entry-level jobs continues to increase and as the need for tech and AI skills becomes all the more critical.”

They are tier 2 (R2) still at the mo. But a promotion to R1 might come soon.
