For Students
Your guide to the SY 2026–27 Career Expo series. Here is what each touchpoint looks like and how to get ready.
Free for Howard students. One registration covers the whole year.
Who This Is For
Every student who is interested in a career in education - teachers, policy advocates, social workers, counselors, administrators, researchers, and more. You do not have to be in the School of Education or a senior to come. If you care about young people and want to find your place in joyful, just learning communities, this Expo is for you.
What Each Touchpoint Feels Like
Four touchpoints across the school year, from a student's point of view. The Year page has the full timeline.

Fall Kickoff + Workshops
Workshop energy. You move between short sessions, meet partners in small groups, and leave with practical tools you can use right away. Dinner is on us.

School + Organization Visits
Field trip vibes, spread across the winter. You step off campus, see real classrooms or offices on a normal day, and talk with people doing the work.
