Take a look back at College of San Mateo’s Welcome Black Celebration!

Hosted by the Black Student Success Initiative (BSSI) in collaboration with the Umoja Learning Community, the event brought students, faculty, staff, and allies together in The Village to celebrate Black excellence, build community, and begin the fall semester in connection.

The celebration was only the beginning. Through BSSI and Umoja, students can find academic support, cultural programming, leadership opportunities, and a community committed to their success. Students planning to transfer can also learn about guaranteed admission pathways available to eligible students at participating Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
