Howard University News August 9, 2016 Incoming Students Make a Difference in the Washington, DC Community Howard University is gearing up for its 4th Annual Howard University Day of Service (HUDOS) on Friday, August 19, 2016. HUDOS will help incoming students get acclimated to the university and the DC community through "truth and service". Howard University Day of Service (HUDOS), will provide an opportunity for incoming students of all faiths and backgrounds to embrace the University's motto, "truth and service." Modeled after Howard University's nationally recognized Alternative Spring Break program, it will provide service-learning opportunities as a part of the students' introductory experience to the University. Incoming students from all over the country and internationally have been invited to participate in HUDOS. Current Howard University students, faculty, staff, administrators and alumni will volunteer across the Washington DC metropolitan area. HUDOS 2016 will focus on community building through seven service-learning initiatives addressing: educational disparities, environmental injustices, health disparities, homelessness and poverty, violence, police and community relationships, and voter registration. This service learning experience will allow Howard University students to discover the power of ethical leadership and civic responsibility.
