Despite playing a major role in supporting these students, many are now under-resourced and yet still graduate a large portion of the total number of Black undergrads in the United States. To learn more about HBCUs and their importance in today's world please read the article on Elle.com titled "HBCUs Are Our Past - And Our Future" by clicking here.
Also learn about the UC-HBCU Initiative which seeks to improve diversity and strengthen UC graduate programs by investing in relationships between UC faculty and HBCUs.

Celebrate Lunar New Year!
Friday, February 12th, 2021

Lunar New Year, to some known as Chinese New Year, is celebrated in countries across Asia and, for many, is considered the most important holiday of the year. A fun and festive holiday, Lunar New Year festivities actually aren't limited to one specific day. Like its name suggests, this holiday reflects the changing of the year based on the lunar calendar and is generally celebrated between late January and mid February. Its an important time to connect with family and friends, to celebrate what the future holds, dance, sing, eat, and yes - open red envelopes! |

The exchange of red envelopes stuffed with crisp bills is a hallmark of Lunar New Year. Red symbolizes luck, health, and prosperity. Click to learn more! (image credit: techcrunch.com)
