The actress behind Clair Huxtable is returning to her alma mater, as a dean.

Howard University recently named multi-award winning TV, stage and film actress and director Phylicia Rashad as dean of its College of Fine Arts.

Rashad, who is also a Houston native, began her career on Broadway before moving on to play Bill Cosby’s TV wife on the long-running 1980s hit “The Cosby Show.” She was also a theater acting major at Howard when she graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor’s in fine arts in 1970.
