On Feb. 8, 2023, I humbly accepted the role of Director of Athletics at Hampton University, marking a significant milestone in my journey. My connection with Hampton goes beyond a mere professional commitment; it holds a special place in my heart, becoming integral to my personal and career narrative.
Accepting the responsibility to lead Hampton’s athletic programs is an honor and a privilege. I hold immense respect and admiration for the institution, and the terms “rich legacy” and “new heights” signify my aspiration to build upon the existing foundation and propel the athletic programs to even greater accomplishments.
Approaching a year of service, I am excited to share the achievements and transformations we have accomplished within the Department of Athletics. Sharing our progress underscores what I hope you will see as my proactive and transparent approach to leadership. I believe in keeping the university community and stakeholders informed and fostering an environment of openness and inclusivity. Hopefully this conveys my gratitude, honor, and enthusiasm for the opportunity to contribute to the university’s legacy and guide its athletic programs toward a future marked by continued success and growth.
Moving on to our developments and achievements over the past year:
Hampton, Va (December 15, 2023): Today, Hampton University President Darrell K. Williams released his first annual Philanthropy Report which captures the increase in transformative gifts, record-breaking engagement, and the institution’s expanded philanthropic landscape. The report reflects the university’s commitment to enhancing Hampton’s financial position and increasing operational excellence.
Because tuition does not cover all the expenses of a university, funding comes from sources beyond students’ tuition, room, and board each year. We benefit from the philanthropy of our alumni and partners in many ways, from covering financial aid and operational costs and subsidizing tuition to reducing reliance on the government, funding research, and improving the overall quality of education at Hampton.
Building a Culture of Philanthropy
“We are building a culture of philanthropy, that’s embedded in transparency and accountability. It is my vision to create an environment in which everyone—advancement team, faculty, students, parents, staff, and alumni—understands how they play a role in raising funds in support of our shared mission of delivering the #1 student experience in America,” said HU President Darrell K. Williams. “The Philanthropy Report reflects our community’s dedication to fostering academic excellence and empowering the next generation of leaders.”
The report introduces the Samuel Chapman Armstrong Giving Society, a new pacesetter initiative that spotlights the giver, their giving philosophy, their ties to the university and their testimony about the impact of their giving which includes:
Helping maintain and enhance the quality of education and research.
Making higher education more accessible, shifting the recruiting process on talent, rather than financial means.
Fueling research and innovation that can lead to breakthroughs in various fields, benefiting not only the university but society at large.
Renovating campus facilities, including state-of-the-art laboratories, the Harvey Library, and the Student Center that can help enhance the learning environment.
Establishing endowed chairs and professorships, attracting top-tier faculty and experts to the university which raises the quality of education and research.
Serving as an employer of choice and a source of economic activity in this region.
Supporting cultural and arts programs that benefit both the university community and the broader public through concerts in Ogden Hall, art exhibitions in the University Museum, and performances across campus.
Providing long-term financial stability, ensuring that Hampton can continue to fulfill their missions for generations.
Allows Hampton to have a global reach, fostering international collaborations and partnerships.
“An engaged community that’s rooted in philanthropic values is at the heart and soul of everything we do,” said Evelyn Graham, vice president for Advancement and External Engagement. “Philanthropy is powerful, self-sustaining, and enables entirely new possibilities. The generosity of our community and the dedication of our donors are propelling Hampton University to new heights.” To view the digital version of the Philanthropy Report, click here.

Hampton, Va. (Nov. 28, 2023) On Wednesday, November 29, at 4:00PM ET U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy heads to Hampton University for the final stop of his national “We Are Made to Connect” Tour [u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net]. He will be in conversation with actor and mental health advocate Da’Vinchi (Starz’s “BMF” and CW’s “All American”) to discuss the importance of social connection to our mental and physical health.
As a part of the event, Dr. Murthy will issue a 5-for-5 Connection Challenge [u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net] to students, challenging them to take 5 actions for 5 days that express gratitude, offer support, or ask for help from people in their lives. These types of actions are outlined in the Surgeon General’s Advisory on Our Epidemic of Loneliness [u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net] as ways that people can catalyze social connection. As outlined in the Advisory, social connection can advance physical, mental, and cognitive health, and it is even associated with a decreased risk of mortality.
Actor Da’Vinchi can currently be seen starring on the hit Starz series “BMF,” produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. He also starred on Freeform’s “Grown-ish,” and continues to recur on the hit CW series “All American.” Da’Vinchi has successfully used his rising platform over the last two years to help shed a light on mental illness in black and brown communities. He started his Mental Health Awareness College Tour and has drawn thousands to hear him speak on the topic of the current mental health crisis that is overtaking our youth in America. He has recently teamed up with such organizations as McDonalds, American Family Insurance, Capital One and our nation’s top doctor, The U.S. Surgeon General, Vice Admiral Vivek Murthy, to help shed light on this matter of national security in our country. With the rising suicide rates of young adults, and more and more young people being diagnosed with depression, loneliness and isolation, the Haitian born actor, Abraham D. Juste, found it to be his calling to speak about his own battles with the disease and to let people know they are not alone in their struggles and that they should not be afraid or ashamed to ask for help.
