The Howard University Student Association (HUSA) Sustainability Department, in partnership with non-profit HBCUs Outside and outdoor apparel retailer REI Co-op, hosted the 2025 Welcome Outside Yard Fest, followed by an off-campus adventure at Key Bridge Boathouse. The events support HBCUs Outside’s goal of “closing the nature gap” by connecting HBCU students to outdoor recreation, education and career opportunities. Wednesday’s Yard Fest featured tents from local businesses and nonprofits, yoga and meditation sessions, plant sales, a trail mix station, a clothing swap and a 20-foot rock wall with a live DJ keeping energy high.
