Community Colleges throughout California will celebrate Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Week from September 23 through the 27 in support of Black student success.
The California Community Colleges website states that while California is not home to an HBCU, the California Community Colleges Transfer Guarantee Pathway helps students successfully transfer to one of more than 30 partner HBCUs.
California Community Colleges Chancellor Sonya Christian said in a statement, "Across the country, more than a third of all Black undergraduate students are attending community colleges. But barriers remain that prevent students from thriving. Here at the California Community Colleges, we are creating innovative and successful approaches to ensuring Black students succeed at our colleges and beyond."
