WELCOME TO THE GOOD TIMES AT HOWARD
THE AUTHENTIC HOWARD HOMECOMING EXPERIENCE
#TheGoodTimesAtHoward is your passport to the authentic Howard alumni experience during Homecoming. This idea was originated in 2014 when Yardfest was not the same and there was no unified move for alumni to fellowship, turn up, and reconnect. We decide to create The Good Times at Howard to create that space.
