Sean Combs


Although he didn’t receive his bachelor’s degree before departing, Sean Combs still reps Howard University to the fullest. The mogul made a donation of $1M to the university in 2016, after receiving his honorary doctorate years prior. During his Washington, D.C. stop of his Bad Boy Family Reunion tour, Combs told the crowd the school “changed his life” by making him believe he could achieve anything.
