The Umoja Community Forum is hosting its annual celebration for Illinois State University students of African descent and from the African diaspora. Umoja: Black Graduation Celebration at Illinois State University will be Thursday, May 11, 2023.
Registration is open until March 10. Register for Umoja here.
Umoja, the Swahili word for unity, is a celebration born from the hearts and minds of African American students, faculty, alumni, and staff. The event serves as a symbol of perseverance in recognizing a shared socio-cultural, political, and educational history.
Undergraduate and graduate students who are 2023 May, August, and December graduates can register to be part of the celebration.
