We look forward to sharing more about our special fifteenth anniversary programming; new written, audio, and video offerings; and more about our future direction in January.
2026 is our fifteenth anniversary, and with these changes, itโs the start of the next era for HowlRound. But donโt worry: Our core programs and values will remain the same.
They will continue to work alongside team members Vijay Mathew, Ashley Malafronte, Munroe Shearer, Thea Rodgers, and Yaลam Gรผlseven.
