Dr. Howard then moved to Buffalo to pursue graduate school. She earned her master's of education and doctorate in educational organization, administration, and policy from the University at Buffalo. She made UB history by becoming the first woman and the first African American to be a vice president at UB, serving during the Greiner administration. And in 1996 she became President of Buffalo State University (formerly known as Buffalo State College).
