Phylicia Rashad<\/a> – world renowned actress and singer, is now Dean of Fine Arts at Howard University. Many were inspired by ‘The Cosby Show’ spinoff ‘A Different World’ to pursue higher education; the show portrayed student life at the fictitious HBCU Hillman College. The legendary actress is a Howard University alumnus and member of Alpha Kappa Alpha\u00a0Sorority, Incorporated. She graduated magna cum laude with a BFA degree in 1970. She will assume her faculty role on July 1st. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Howard University President Wayne A. I. Frederick, M.D., MBA shared a glowing endorsement<\/a>: \u201cI can think of no individual better suited to take on this role than Ms. Phylicia Rashad, as we reintroduce our campus community and the world at large to Howard\u2019s College of Fine Arts, the dean will play an instrumental role in ensuring an auspicious beginning for this reestablished institution. Given Ms. Rashad\u2019s reputation as well as her capabilities and impressive list of accomplishments, she will undoubtedly empower the college to transcend even our incredibly high expectations. Under her leadership, Howard will continue to inspire and cultivate the artists and leaders who will shape our niche and national cultures for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rashad is a five time Emmy nominee, and Tony award winner, and has received multiple honorary doctorates including Brown University, Spelman College, and the University of South Carolina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
