Howard University will also play the Morehouse College Tigers in the 3rd Annual HBCU NY Classic at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. on Saturday, September 14. The University will release the remainder of the team’s 2024 schedule shortly. 

In addition to the football game, Howard Homecoming Week includes the Call to Chapel, Royal Court Coronation, Lavender Reception, Student Fashion Show, Greek Step Show, Yardfest, Homecoming Parade, Young Alumni Day Party Brunch and Alumni Jazz Brunch. The events are planned with the goal of entertaining students, alumni, and members of the local community, said David P. Bennett, senior vice president of Development and Alumni Relations, adding the 100th anniversary of the game will bring an added level of enthusiasm. 

“Each year, Homecoming brings so many people together to celebrate what makes Howard University so special,” Bennett said. “Each day of the week will be filled with activities that really speak to the spirit of Howard University and the impact it has had on our culture. We hope everyone saves the date and gets ready for a week of festivities 100 years in the making.”   

The official 2024 Howard University Homecoming Week schedule will be released by the University later this year.
