Black History Month Opening Ceremony

Please join us to kick off our month-long celebration of Black history and heritage with a powerful, inspiring, and thought-provoking gathering centered around our theme, Gold in our Melanin, Greatness in our Histories. We will connect to invite reflection on the enduring legacy of innovation and resilience that has shaped the Black experience.  

The BHM Opening Ceremony is led by the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs (MESA), and is co-sponsored by the Trotter Multicultural Center, Support for Incoming Black Students (SIBS), and the Black Student Union (BSU). Join us as we uplift stories and creative expressions that highlight authentic Black generational experiences, while also reflecting on the strength rooted in shared and unique histories. Inspiring genuine understanding, sparking creativity, and cultivating deeper appreciation for the gold within our melanin and the greatness within our histories. 

We hope to see you at the Opening Ceremony and at other events throughout Black History Month!
