WASHINGTON
(September 29, 2008)— Howard University was selected as one of seven
minority institutions to receive NASA's Minority University Research
and Education Program grant. The Howard University Beltsville Campus
will benefit from this grant, which amounts to $1 million per year for
five years for each participating institution. The goal of NASA's
education program is to establish significant, multi-disciplinary
scientific, engineering and commercial research centers at the host
universities that contribute substantially to NASA programs. With this
grant, NASA plans to increase the number of underrepresented minorities
who obtain advance degrees in science related fields.
Tickets for the Homecoming Steering Committee events will be available
for purchase at Cramton Box Office, Burr Gymnasium (cash only) and http://Ticketmaster.com as of September 9, 2008.
Tell all your friends and family!
We welcome you HOME this October!
