Mission
The mission of Black Programs is to unite students of African-American, Caribbean and African descent by increasing the awareness and appreciation of Black history through educational, cultural, social and academic programs. Our mission includes maintaining a vital support network to help students explore their chosen academic fields and succeed in completing their degree program.
We offer services and resources to prospective and enrolled students, including academic guidance, career advising, computer labs, individualized mentoring and tutoring, and scholarship information. In addition to academic support, we make available collaborative opportunities throughout the campus and community to enrich our students' educational services.
The Black Programs lounge is a popular gathering spot where students can study, use the computers, have group meetings or just hang out.
Goals
|
Our goal at the Black Programs is to help students reach their potential both in and out of the classroom. In our view, education does not stop at the classroom door, but springs forth in all facets of life. We see students as unique individuals with personal values that must be developed and nourished to the highest level by he entire community's dedication to the educational process. Our campus community offers a wealth of resources for students to explore. In harmony with the university's mission statement, Black Programs promotes students' individual responsibility, leadership, personal integrity, commitment to service and respect for tradition. Black Programs gives the students the support and connections needed to help realize the full potential of each individual. |
