What Faculty Say
Jessica Oladapo

“This pathway is designed specifically with Black students in mind to ensure representation and visibility, which has a positive impact on belonging. However, it is equally important that non-Black students are also encouraged to explore the general education courses and electives that have particular emphasis on the contribution of Black Americans to develop cultural competence.”
