5 HU Clubs and Organizations

Campus Pals:

The HU Campus Pals are a group of sophomores, juniors, and seniors that help freshman students transition into Howard University. They provide numerous activities during freshman week, that unify the freshman class immediately upon arrival. This year we went to Kings Dominion, had a freshman dance, the dating game, and much more. They continue their activities, as well as informational meetings to help the freshman throughout the entirety of the year.

Misses At Meridian Outreach Society:

This is an organization that I am currently part of. This is an outreach society stemming from Meridian Hill Hall, an upperclassmen dorm that houses many freshman girls. This program is implemented to serve Freshmen girls living in Meridian Hill Hall, and help them transition to Howard as well, being that they are living off campus, with students outside their class, and separate from the normal freshman girl experience. They also reach out into the community, to help the surrounding area through community service. It was founded just last year by the President Miss Oyetewa Oyerinde, Vice President Miss Brittany Maner, and Secretary Miss Christina Spann.

International Pals:

They are similar to the Campus Pals, however they extend their reach to international students more so. They are here to help incoming freshman and transfer students from international background transition to Howard University. They also have several programs, and have numerous activities freshman week, and continued on into the year. Although they aim to help international students, their activities are not limited to only international students, and are instead open to everyone!

State Clubs:

There are also numerous clubs for the states that various Howard Students are from. Although it is not necessary to be from the state whose group you are joining, it is beneficial. It gives you a chance to bond and relate to people from similar areas to you, that are also trying to succeed out here in college. The different state clubs have numerous functions for everyone to come out and see what their state is all about!

Caribbean Student Association (CSA):

This is an organization that is like a state club for students from the Caribbean and surrounding areas but really so much more than that. It allows those students to come together and share their culture with all the different cultures present. It's also a chance for non international students to see what they do as well. CSA host a lot of parties that are very fun to go to, and they put on a lot of programs as well.

TILT

TILT was very frustrating. I did it for Composition already, and even then it wouldn't allow me to email my results to my teacher, But now that I'm trying to access my results once again, it has locked me out and wont let me even view the scores I got. I know that I got 100% on all 3 tests, but now I can't prove it! Or submit my scores for freshman seminar. I feel that TILT is pointless in itself, and now this proves that the system is set up poorly as well.

Howard University

Founders library was dedicated in 1939, an houses information as well as historical exhibits. It's built on the sight for the old main building, and is home to one of the university's museums and the MSRC.

Griffith Stadium was named for Clark Griffith, the manager/owner of the Senators baseball team, in 1924. It was constructed in 1914 as American League Park. The stadium was a social center for the city. Famous people got their start there, for example Duke Ellington sold peanuts at the games as a kid.

The Howard University Gallery of Art was established in 1928. Professor James V. Herring (1897-1969), founder of the HowardUniversity Art Department, and James A. Porter (1905-1970), professor and artist, were its first directors. It was originally set up in Rankin Chapel, then moved to Founders, then moved to Childers Hall.

Howard Hall is the oldest extant building on the Howard University campus. Originally the home of white General Oliver Otis Howard, it was completed in 1869 as one of the first four buildings on the campus. General Howard was one of the founders of the school, and served as the president from 1869-1874.

Howard University, one of the oldest black colleges in the United States, was established by an act of Congress in 1866.The university also helped give birth to and nurture many of the civil rights and black power movements, organizations, institutions, individual leaders, and victories of the late 19th and 20th centuries.

Questions I had:

1. Do people actually make use of the historical resources we have on campus such as the museum and library?
2. What is the University doing to let people know that such resources exist?
3. Will such buildings always continue to be a part of Howard university?
