Planning
Committee
The Howard University School of Education Career Exploration Expo is planned by a team that wants future educators to meet the organizations that share their values.
This expo is built to work differently from a typical career fair. Students meet employers who share the School of Education's mission and are ready to support their growth.
Behind it are months of work by a committee that believes in the next generation of educators.
