California Colleges Take a Bold Step Toward Black Student Success – Part 2

Hear how a new California Legislative Law, that went into effect on January 1, 2025, will allow Black students to identify colleges that are uniquely committed to their success in and out of the classroom. In part two of this special panel episode, hear once again from educational leaders Dr. Abdimalik Buul, Dr. Luke Wood, Dr. Tammeil Gilkerson, Pamela Haynes, and Joya Miller, on what this monumental designation means to students statewide.  

Out-of-state HCBUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) have set the standard for years, framing a model that stands as a premier example of how college campuses can achieve Black student success. California students will soon have more opportunities to feel like they are a part of a campus community uniquely dedicated to their personal and academic success can chase their dreams while staying close to home.

The BSI (Black Serving Institution) designation signifies transformative, positive change, and intentionality to meet students where they are and create a more welcoming environment for generations to come.
