Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise visit to her alma mater, Howard University in Washington, DC, on Monday. The Vice President welcomed new students to the campus ahead of the fall semester, interacting with students outside the university's Cramton Auditorium.
While Harris has maintained a low profile this week, she has been actively engaged in receiving briefings and conducting internal meetings with her staff behind closed doors. On Monday, she also took the time to record video remarks for the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees' (AFSCME) 46th International Convention.
This visit to Howard University holds special significance as Harris, a graduate of the university, connected with current students and shared her experiences with them. The Vice President's engagement with the student community reflects her commitment to education and mentorship.
Looking ahead, Harris is scheduled to resume her public schedule on Thursday, where she will join President Joe Biden in Prince George's County to discuss the administration's efforts to lower costs. This upcoming event marks the first public joint appearance by the President and Vice President since Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race last month.
As Vice President Harris continues to balance her responsibilities, her recent visit to Howard University underscores the importance of connecting with the next generation of leaders and fostering a sense of community within educational institutions.
