Greetings!

California’s Black families and students know the value of an education. Today, more Black students are graduating from high school, going to college, and earning degrees than ever before. But for many of the 2.2 million Black Californians the dream of going to college and crossing the graduation stage remains an illusion.

California cannot remain innovative, entrepreneurial, or economically competitive without closing persistent racial equity gaps in education and ensuring more Black students go to college and graduate.

Today, t he Campaign for College Opportunity released the State of Higher Education for Black Californians, a landmark report that reveals progress the state is making in better preparing Black students for college even while major inequities in college access and completion persist.

For an overview of the   report, register for our webinar  happening today at 10:30 a.m. PST. State experts will address some of the greatest education barriers that Black students in California face and will share recommendations to ensure the success of Black students.
