Armour J. Blackburn University Center
Howard University
The Armour J. Blackburn University Center serves as the social hub of the University providing an environment for cultural, recreational, leisure and intellectual enrichment outside of the classroom environment. The Blackburn University Center bridges the gap between the University and community, serving as the conference site for many university activities, community events, national/regional conferences, business meetings, and lectures. The Blackburn University Center also serves as a training ground by creating employment opportunities for students while they matriculate through Howard University. The employment opportunities are in areas such as recreation, media technology, office administration, informational services, and facilities/event management. The Center’s student employment delivers a financial resource for students while providing leadership and development opportunities in addition to supporting an ongoing commitment to the University. The Blackburn University Center reflects and strengthens the traditions and history of Howard University by creating an environment for different generations to come together and address critical social, economic, and cultural diversities in our society. The Center complements the academic learning experience with a holistic approach to leadership development, multi-cultural experiences and community outreach. We assure the realization of our mission, with the continued support and cooperative collaboration from the campus community and the local community at large.
