The Event: A Reunion of Legends

At the heart of this event is a reunion of the original cast of the beloved NBC series “A Different World.” Taking place at Howard University, known for its rich heritage and academic excellence, this gathering promises to be more than just a trip down memory lane. It’s a testament to the enduring impact of the show, which continues to resonate with viewers decades after its debut.

Hillman Day: A Journey Through Time

The festivities kick off at 1:00 p.m., embracing the spirit of Hillman Day with a lineup of activities outside the iconic Cramton Auditorium. From student DJs spinning tunes to the electrifying Divine Nine sorority and fraternity step show, attendees will be immersed in the vibrant culture that defines HBCUs. The celebration doesn’t stop there; expect 80s/90s themed karaoke, a “A Different World” character costume contest, and a special screening of top episodes that capture the essence of the show’s legacy.

Inspiring the Next Generation

Beyond the fanfare lies a deeper purpose. Kim Coles, a driving force behind the tour, emphasizes its mission to inspire a new wave of students to choose HBCUs as their academic homes. “This is not just about looking back at the past,” she states. “It’s about showcasing the immense value these institutions offer—community, culture, and endless opportunities.”

A Legacy of Impact

“A Different World” holds a special place in the hearts of viewers, many of whom credit the show for their decision to attend an HBCU. Its portrayal of life at Hillman College, a fictional yet deeply resonant institution, captured the essence of real-life HBCU experiences. Throughout its six-year run, the series consistently ranked among the top choices for Black viewers, solidifying its status as a cultural touchstone.
