WASHINGTON (AP) - Howard University President H. Patrick Swygert says he will retire at the end of June 2008.
In a letter to the university community dated Friday, Swygert, 64, outlined goals for his final year in office and pointed to his accomplishments since taking the helm of the historically black school in 1995.
Swygert, who earned his undergraduate and law degrees from Howard, said the school has produced Fulbright and Rhodes scholars, recruited acclaimed faculty and upgraded the school's research facilities. He also noted that the latest fundraising program passed its goal of $250 million 10 months ahead of projections.
