This January, Hampton University proudly marked 132 years of exceptional educational service and community leadership with a powerful and festive week-long celebration. From January 20-26, 2025, the historic campus buzzed with enthusiasm and pride, bringing together current students, distinguished alumni, and valued community partners to celebrate the institution’s vibrant legacy and promising future.
The engaging week kicked off with a heartwarming campus-wide day of service that united student and alumni volunteers. Participants collaboratively worked on revitalizing local parks, mentoring young leaders, and supporting neighborhood initiatives designed to elevate the greater Hampton community. Reflecting the university’s strong culture of selfless service, these activities not only beautified the surroundings but created strong, lasting connections among generations of Hampton University family members.
Throughout the week, dynamic academic panels spotlighted accomplished Hampton alumni who continue to impact society deeply through their groundbreaking work in technology, healthcare, and the arts. Panel discussions served as powerful motivation for current students, affirming the exceptional possibilities awaiting them thanks to the solid foundation provided by their Hampton education.
A particularly inspiring highlight was the anticipated ‘Legacy & Innovation’ gala—a splendid evening that honored the university’s transformative journey. President Darrell K. Williams passionately remarked, ‘For 132 years, Hampton University has illuminated paths of opportunity and improved countless lives. From research laboratories to corporate boardrooms, our alumni’s achievements exemplify the power of our mission.’ Attendees were also treated to the premiere of an impactful short documentary, artistically crafted by current film students, celebrating Hampton University’s dedication to civil rights advocacy and STEM innovation.
