100+ students. 35+ partner organizations. Three days of workshops, site visits, and interviews. This page is for you.
For three days, students, educators, organizations, faculty, and alumni took each other seriously, and a planning team kept the whole thing moving.
Here is what you helped build: the numbers, the voices, and a few moments worth remembering. If you were in the room, some of this is yours.
Over three days, 100+ Howard students came through the door for career workshops, school site visits, and virtual sessions that ended in live interviews.
35+ partner organizations showed up to hire, teach, and recruit: LEAs, charter schools, independent schools, policy and advocacy groups, teacher residencies, and the U.S. House of Representatives.
The room earned 4.6/5 from the students we built it for, and 100% said they'd come back.
The tagline of the week, and Dr. Joyce King's charge that opened it.
Worn by the planning team. Said out loud all week.
Dr. Joyce E. King opened Day 1 with the keynote the week's tagline was rooted in.

The expo recap, and students in their own voices.
Workshops, site visits, and virtual sessions, one day each.
School districts, policy organizations, and nonprofits led in-person sessions on the many paths into education and what the work is really like. Dr. Joyce E. King opened the week with a charge for students to "give themselves permission to make an impact." Students described Day 1 as the most inspiring part of the week.
Partner schools and education organizations across the DMV hosted students for visits, including one on Capitol Hill. Students stepped inside real learning environments, met staff, and asked questions they couldn't ask at a fair table. Survey responses called these the most meaningful moments of the week. School visits continued through the end of April.
Partner-hosted virtual breakout rooms with embedded interview slots. Several organizations conducted live interviews. Offers were extended before the week was out.
Verbatim, from the post-event survey.
My career opportunity is most likely coming through a door that HU opens.
That there is a place for me in policy.
All of my sessions from day 1 left me inspired to go into the field.
I liked the visit to EdTrust because it opened my eyes to new career paths!
This week I have learned that to achieve long-term success in the education field you must know your why.
Be open - you never know where the field of education might take you.
Receiving student information and resumes prior to Day 3 was really helpful. Well organized and thought out. Connecting with Howard education students is of great value.
The virtual sessions brought students who were really looking for opportunities and interested in our organization as a place to start their career.
The opportunity to meet and engage with the students.
I thought the Expo was an innovative way to connect with students. The event went above and beyond a traditional career fair. I enjoyed the opportunity to have a tour led by SOE students while we visited, too!
The HU students are amazing and very impressive.
The enthusiasm and preparation of the students.
A few moments from three days with 100+ students and 35+ organizations.
