Student Design Program HoCo Reception

The Howard University x Pro Standard Student Design Program is back — and we’re celebrating the talented student designers bringing their creativity to the 2026 Homecoming retail experience! After a one-year hiatus, the program returns with several students applying and three designers selected, including the program’s first-ever graduate student. This event is invite only.

Throughout the program, our student designers have:

✨ Participated in design reviews and creative development
🗽 Traveled to Pro Standard’s New York offices
🎨 Refined their concepts and designs
🏈 Prepared their work for the 2026 Howard University Homecoming retail program

Join us as we celebrate their creativity, dedication and the launch of their 2026 Homecoming collection in partnership with Follett, and Pro Standard! Come meet the designers, celebrate their journey and get a first look at the creativity behind this year’s Homecoming collection!
