Awesome Take the time and listen to Howard’s Bryce Harris talk about the basketball “brotherhood” “Being a basketball player is a beautiful thing because it allows you to have a common goal and have a deeper connection than just being a teammate”

I was deeply saddened this morning to learn that my friend and colleague, Kevin Curley, passed away following a courageous battle with metastatic esophageal cancer. Kevin was an assistant on my 1st staff at Colgate. We spent 9 years together. Great coach, friend, husband and Dad

I was proud to welcome the Howard Men's Basketball Team to my office and celebrate their spectacular season. From winning their first-ever NCAA Tournament win to Bryce Harris being named MEAC player of the year, I can't wait to see what the program does next. HU...You Know!
