As our campus evolves and modernizes with current times, it is essential that we explore the ways in which capitalism and technology can shape a better world for us all.

At such a critical time for race relations in our country, it is vital that we understand the role of journalism in steering our national conversation and social progress. Not only must our newsrooms reflect the communities where they are reporting, but we need to infuse the profession with diverse talent.

Almost three years since COVID-19 compelled Howard University to transition to online learning, we have entered a new phase of the pandemic. We have returned to in-person instruction, we can gather safely in large crowds, and masking is optional on our campus. In this new era where the threat of COVID-19 has diminished, how should we balance practicing caution with returning to the way of life before the pandemic? What lessons from the pandemic should we make sure to carry forward? Dr. Wayne Frederick is joined by Dr. Roger Mitchell, chair of pathology at Howard University College of Medicine, for this candid discussion.

A complex set of structural barriers have historically perpetuated racial and economic inequality.
