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 As much as 30% of hours worked could be automated by 2030 (McKinsey), and 44% of worker core skills will be outdated in the next 5 years (World Economic Forum).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.
