In February, the campus community came together to celebrate Black History Month through a series of programs, events and discussions.

With efforts led by the Black History Month Planning Committee and coordination by Multicultural Affairs, the monthlong celebration highlighted Black history, culture and rich traditions in alignment with this year’s theme of “Black Resistance: Building Bridges and Navigating Barriers.â€

These photos capture highlights from several of the signature events planned. Thanks to all who participated!
