Hampton University- Official

Building tomorrow's engineering workforce starts with strong industry partnerships!

Earlier this month, Dr. Joyce T. Shirazi, our Dean of the school of Engineering, Architecture and Aviation, represented Hampton University at the American Council of Engineering Companies of Virginia (ACEC) Conference, sharing insights on how universities and engineering firms can work together to strengthen career readiness, workforce development, and the talent pipeline across Virginia.

✨ Summer Spotlight ✨

Four Hamptonians turned a summer opportunity into a major win at the 2026 Under Armour HBCU Career Combine, where they were selected from more than 800 applicants nationwide:

⚓️ Chanel Azong '27 (Electrical Engineering)
⚓️ Caleb Sanders '29/'30 (5-year MBA)
⚓️ Hazel Roberts '29/'30 (5-year MBA)
⚓️ Amirah Brown '29/'30 (5-year MBA)

They spent the week sharpening their skills, connecting with industry leaders, and tackling a real-world case study challenge - and Hampton made its mark.

Amirah's team earned 1st place, securing a $10,000 scholarship and Chanel's team earned 2nd place and a $2,500 scholarships, earning the "Power Player – Hustle & Drive Award" while Hazel was named "Power Player – Team MVP."

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandpas, uncles, mentors, and father figures who show up, cheer the loudest, give advice, answer the late-night calls, and always have our Pirates' backs.

And to our incoming Hampton dads...thank you for trusting us with your pride and joy. We can't wait to welcome you to the Pirate family this August!

Kick back, relax, and enjoy your day - you've definitely earned it.
