At CSArts-SGV, one of our core pillars is creating a welcoming culture. This means, in part, creating an inclusive campus environment for all members of our diverse school community. Any national celebration that brings focus to diverse cultures gives us the opportunity to listen, reflect, and take action in advocacy of inclusion and equity. CSArts-SGV has a number of student clubs dedicated to social activism, a committee focused on furthering our work in equity, and a Student Culture Executive Board, which meets regularly with Administration to share feedback from various student affinity groups on campus.
Black history is an essential part of American history, during this month and all year long. In celebration of National Black History Month, we would like to highlight some of the incredible work that our Black Student Union (BSU) is doing on campus. BSU will be sponsoring a student performance, followed by a super heroic film screening, on Tuesday, February 22, a lunch event on Friday, February 25, and twice-a-week pop-ins during morning announcements throughout the month of February.
