Rutgers University–Newark Closes Black History Month with Student Programs and Community Celebration

Programming example

Closing out Black History Month surrounded by students and community feels right.The students and Rutgers University–Newark events we hosted through the Intercultural Resource Center were powerful, but what stays with me most are the conversations, the laughter, the pride, and the honest reflections shared in our spaces.Black history is living history. It shows up in resilience, creativity, scholarship, activism, and leadership, including the leadership I see in our students every day.As Director and an organizational leader, I am grateful to do this work. Grateful for a team (Priyanka, Manuel, Amanda “Mandy” & Noel hashtag#Gracias❤️) that cares deeply and truly showed up in the planning and execution of this month’s programming. And grateful for students who continue to challenge, inspire, and shape our campus culture.The month may be ending. The commitment continues.✊🏽✊🏿✊🏾✊🏼hashtag#BlackHistoryMonth hashtag#CampusLife hashtag#RutgersNewark hashtag#StudentSuccess hashtag#Community hashtag#HigherEducation hashtag#RaiderRevolution hashtag#HigherEdJunkie hashtag#QueerLatino hashtag#Educator hashtag#HigherEducation hashtag#NewYorker hashtag#BabySteps hashtag#PHinisheD hashtag#Destiny hashtag#SelfLove hashtag#Reclaim
