FROM THE PRESIDENT OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY
Office of the President Howard University
October 1, 2013
Dear Howard University Community:
After careful deliberation, I have decided to announce my retirement immediately
from our beloved institution and will officially leave the Presidency at the end
of this year. I would like to express my profound gratitude to the entire
community for supporting me and generating an atmosphere of positive
collaboration over the past five years.
Together we have implemented a robust renewal strategy including Academic
Program Renewal, Faculty Renewal, Administrative and Staff Renewal and
Facilities Renewal. These initiatives are integrated and reflect the
University's core values: "leadership excellence, truth, and service."
Building cranes now frame the campus skyline, illustrating a physical
transformation that sets the tone for Howard's future. In March 2013, we broke
ground on the first academic and residential buildings in more than three
decades. Two new living and learning residence halls will bring underclassmen
closer to the center of campus, while the state-of-the art interdisciplinary
research building will catalyze many of the University's major fundable research
efforts. They will both come online in 2014.
Serving as the president of Howard University was the opportunity of a lifetime.
In nearly 150 years, only 16 people have had this privilege. It is one I will
always treasure. Again, I would like to thank the entire community for
supporting me, for extending a collegial spirit and for helping us to expand and
renew the Capstone.
Sincerely,
Sidney A. Ribeau
President
