Howard University to Honor 2026 Athletic Hall of Fame Class This October

The storied tradition of Howard University athletics continues to shine as the institution prepares to celebrate its latest class of distinguished alumni with the Bi-Annual Athletic Alumni Hall of Fame Induction ceremony.

The prestigious event is scheduled for Friday, October 16 at 7 p.m. and will take place at Martin's Crosswinds, located at 7400 Greenway Center Drive in Greenbelt, Maryland 20770.

The announcement, made on May 12, 2026, from Washington, marks another milestone in Howard's commitment to preserving and celebrating its athletic heritage.

Howard University's athletic program has long been a source of pride within the HBCU community, producing numerous standout performers across multiple sports who have gone on to achieve success both professionally and in their respective communities. The Hall of Fame serves as a permanent tribute to those who have exemplified excellence in competition, leadership, and character while representing the Bison.

The October ceremony will provide an opportunity for the Howard University family—including current students, alumni, faculty, staff, and supporters—to gather and pay tribute to the newest inductees. These honorees join an elite group of former Bison who have left an indelible mark on the university's athletic legacy.

As the HBCU community continues to celebrate the achievements and contributions of its institutions, events like the Howard University Athletic Hall of Fame induction remind us of the rich traditions and exceptional talent that have emerged from historically Black colleges and universities. The ceremony promises to be a memorable evening of recognition, reflection, and celebration of Bison athletic excellence.

For members of the Howard University community and HBCU supporters looking to attend this special celebration, mark your calendars for this October gathering in Greenbelt, Maryland.
