On November 14 – Howard University today activated “The Yard at Afrotech U: Celebrating HBCU Culture, Alumni, and Tech Contributions” at the Afrotech Conference in the George R. Brown Convention Center, Houston, Texas. In partnership with Blavity/Afrotech, Howard is helping to curate novel programming for students and early career professionals in technology to address the underrepresentation of people of color in the technology industry. The programming will include sessions on product development, tech industry success, and resume development. “The Yard” will be connected to the “Afrotech U” seminar space on the convention floor. Howard’s activation is being led by Dr. Kweli Zukeri, assistant vice president for web innovation and strategy for Howard’s Office of University Communications.
