RISE Sankofa Symposium

Join us for the launch of the Black Student Kollective as we gather in the first of a series of critical conversations as part of the Sankofa Symposium. We will address the harmful impact of anti-Blackness and the role of "N-word" in the  Black community via intergenerational panels. seminars, and thought partnership to build  critical consciousness. Students will have the opportunity to join the Black Student Kollective to help develop the Social Change Project for next year.
