Center for Digital Business

The Center for Digital Business empowers Howard students to lead in tech through hands-on learning, industry partnerships, and innovation-focused programs. From student-led strategy teams to national tech activations and AI literacy initiatives, we’re equipping the next generation of leaders with the skills, mindset, and connections to thrive in a digital world.

Why it matters:

The future of work is arriving fast. As much as 30% of hours worked could be automated by 2030 (McKinsey), and 44% of worker core skills will be outdated in the next 5 years (World Economic Forum). Without access to future-ready learning, students risk graduating into a world that has already moved on.

Your support powers all of this. Donations help us:

• Provide software and tools for workshops and student projects
• Cover food and materials for event events and showcases
• Fund travel for students to attend top conferences like AfroTech and CES
• Print and distribute the HU Bottomline, the School of Business magazine created by students
• Recognize and support student volunteers with swag and professional development resources
• Expand the Center’s reach and capacity to serve more students, faculty, and industry partners

With your investment, we can do even more. Every gift brings us closer to a future where Howard students are more than simply digitally fluent, they’re driving digital transformation across industries and communities.
