I’m just a girl 🥹
But blood, sweat, tears later we did it! Can’t thank my family, loved ones, and myself enough for a hell of a ride.

🎉 Congratulations, CEA Class of 2026! 🎉
Dr. Makola Abdullah — also a civil engineering alumnus and Dean Jones' classmate 🤩 — brought his sharp wit and engaging humor back to the Mecca to deliver clever and inspiring remarks to our Class of 2026. Here are some highlights.
He shared cherished memories as a student at Howard CEA with his classmate and our dean — Kim Jones — and left us with a powerful note.
"There is no better place that prepares you for the rest of your life than Howard University.
I have been in rooms with presidents and CEOs.
I have been in rooms with kings and queens and governors, and there has never been a room [I have been in] with more talent than the room I left here when I left in 1990."
Congratulations, CEA Class of 2026!
Dean Kimberly L. Jones — civil engineering alumna — addressed our Class of 2026 at our CEA Awards and Recognition Ceremony for the first time as dean.
Dean Jones took a moment of dean's privilege to brag about the Class of 2026:
🌟 292 graduates ✅️
🌟 15 nations represented 🌍
🎖 15 graduating with a perfect 4.0 🎯🏆
🌟 11% first generation college students 📚
🌟 48% women (nearly half!) ♀️👑
🌟 youngest graduate is 19
🌟 oldest graduate is 45
"We are remaking the nation's innovation workforce of the future.
Go demand a seat at the table, and carry forward with the integrity and purpose that Howard University has instilled in you."
From the stage to the studio, Jaydn DeCuir has spent the last four years balancing the precision of civil engineering with the passion of dance. Her journey is a testament to the "and" in the Howard experience—proving you can build structures and art at the same time.
