Florida State University Community Mourns the Loss of Zeta Phi Beta’s Charlene Howard
The Florida State University Chapter of the NAACP has issued a statement honoring the life of Charlene Howard, a beloved member of the university community and a dedicated advocate for social justice who passed away in September. Howard, a proud member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., was a former president of the FSU NAACP chapter and former advisor to the NAACP(2023/2024) and served as a Student Life Skills Instructor for the FSU CARE program.
In a statement released in September by Kaela Jackson, the then president of the FSU NAACP chapter, the organization expressed deep sorrow over Ms. Howard’s passing and reflected on her lasting impact. The statement acknowledged Howard’s unwavering commitment to leadership, mentorship, and advocacy, highlighting the countless lives she touched through her work within the university and beyond.
Ms. Howard’s contributions extended across multiple organizations, where she consistently championed initiatives aimed at uplifting marginalized communities. Her legacy as a leader within Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. and as an Iota Sweetheart of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. underscores her dedication to service and community empowerment.
“As the current president for the Florida State University chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). I am deeply committed to ensuring that the remarkable legacy of Ms. Charlene Howard continues to inspire and uplift,” current FSU NAACP President Alysha Dorcely stated. “Ms. Charlene embodied what it means to be a leader, a mentor, and a trailblazer. Her work within Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated., the NAACP, and as an Iota Sweetheart left an indelible mark on so many in the BGLO community.“
The FSU NAACP chapter encouraged those who knew Howard to honor her memory by continuing her efforts to create positive change and support initiatives that reflect her passion for service and advocacy.
We at Watch The Yard ask that you keep Ms. Howard’s family, friends, FSU community and sorority sisters in your thoughts and prayers.
