COAS Student Council completes 90% of their original platform intiatives before Spring Semester!
a november to remember
From week-long programming to student-centered initiatives, the College of Arts & Sciences Timeless Council spent the fall semester implementing key projects aimed at enhancing leadership, engagement, and community within Howard University.
According to council reports, 90% of the original platform initiatives were completed ahead of the Spring semester (view the original platform here.) This issue of the newsletter provides an overview of upcoming initiatives, highlights notable student achievements, and shares scholarship and fellowship opportunities to support COAS students in their academic and professional development.
Our first major initiative underway is the launch of findmycoas.com, our new website designed to streamline academic resources and enhance accessibility for COAS students. The website launched Friday, November 28th and is providing our Bison community with a centralized hub for essential information, key contacts, and all things related to the College of Arts & Sciences.
FindMyCOAS will feature a wide range of sections, including UGSA, COAS history, student opportunities, logistics support, media galleries, and more. We are thrilled to bring this platform to life and look forward to offering students a seamless, user-friendly resource that reflects the excellence and innovation of the Timeless Council.
Stay tuned as we continue to add to this site!

mY PATH, MY PACE
One of our key projects is My Path, My Pace, a December social media series highlighting the journeys of non-traditional students at Howard University.
Every Monday throughout the month, the COAS Timeless Council will release a 35–40 second interview featuring a student whose path reflects the diverse experiences within our community. Our team is managing the full production process, from selecting interviewees and crafting questions to filming, gathering b-roll, and organizing all materials for the Public Relations Department’s Content Creation Committee to edit and finalize.
With five Mondays in December, five students will be represented across categories including international students, transfer students, first-generation/low-income students, ROTC or military-affiliated students, and adult learners or parents. Each participant will answer a set of general questions, paired with tailored prompts that center their unique background. Watch the first video here.
From completing 90% of the COAS Student Council’s platform initiatives to preparing exciting projects like My Path, My Pace and the Find My COAS website, the Timeless Council has shown what student leadership and collaboration can accomplish. As we head into the Spring semester, we’re looking forward to building on this momentum bringing new initiatives, highlighting student achievements, and providing resources that help every Bison succeed. The work continues, and we can’t wait to see what the next semester holds for the College of Arts & Sciences community.
Stay tuned for our spring semester schedule!
