“Throughout her trailblazing career, Senator Harris has demonstrated her commitment to youth in a variety of ways. She is a leader in mentorship programs, has authored legislation to fight child exploitation and unashamedly shattered both racial and gender barriers. As we exclaim the necessity of Howard University’s legacy—now more than ever before—and focus our vision toward the future, I have no doubt that our graduates will find Senator Harris thought-provoking and inspiring,” HU President Dr. Wayne Frederick said.
