The 2021 BLK Conference at UMass Boston is taking place TODAY on Zoom starting at 10am!

From the organizers: “The theme of this year's conference is Re-Humanizing Blackness: The Unhealthy Stigma of Extreme Black Perseverance. Oftentimes, society enforces a hyper resiliency on Black people that makes it feel impossible to take a break and heal from traumatic experiences. The conference will examine this idea through a mental health and self-care lens. Join us as we discuss the damage of diminishing the healing process of Black people in America.”

The conference is free and open to the general public.

Happy last day of classes, Beacons! You all deserve a round of applause! We are amazed by the hard work and inspiration you have all brought to make this fall 2020 semester the best it can be. Let's be honest: Some days were hard. But you adapted. You endured. You thrived. You asked for help. You helped others. And we are proud.
