100 Years. Still Becoming.

Come celebrate Black History Month as a community! As we come together to commemorate the centenary of Black History Month, we are called not only to celebrate Black excellence, culture, and joy, but also to confront the systems and inequities that persist. This month invites us to engage honestly with the realities of exclusion while also recognizing the power of community, care, and collective action in creating change. Let's come together and amplify Black voices at Stevens and beyond!

All are welcome to celebrate and attend our Black History Month programs!
