Additionally, Howard thanked Harris for her appearance at the game.
"Always a pleasure to have @VP representing #TheRealHU," the college tweeted Saturday evening.
Kamala Harris attended Howard from 1982 to 1986 and graduated with a degree in political science and economics. She then went to Hastings College of Law at UC San Francisco and graduated with a Juris Doctor degree in 1989.
