Publish Date: May 19, 2022

Events during the week of April 25-29 centered around this year’s theme, A Vision for Black Student Success: Creating a New Landscape to Succeed focused on new approaches to ensure Black and African American students succeed as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The week kicked off with remarks from U.S. Secretary of Education Dr. Miguel Cardona on Monday, April 25. Other activities included: Daily webinars, daily group discussion forums, an advocacy day, and additional webinars that were held via Zoom and live streamed on YouTube.

Black Student Success Week concluded with a panel who shared examples on how they have navigated a system not set up for African Americans to succeed and focused on transformative action that intentionally and authentically creates environments that embrace and support Black excellence.

Black Student Success Week is organized in partnership with A2MEND, Umoja Community Education Foundation, The Campaign for College Opportunity, The Education Trust-West, the Equity Avengers, The RP Group, the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges, the Community College League of California, the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, the Foundation for California Community Colleges, and the Student Senate for California Community Colleges.
