CCC to HBCU Fall Caravan<\/a> at Palomar featured workshops and events from 20 HBCUs around the nation. In addition to Palomar College students and staff, attendees included students from Orange Glen High School, San Pasqual Academy, and Southwestern, Grossmont and San Diego Mesa Colleges.<\/p>\nAriana Ortiz Suarez, Student Success Initiatives Coordinator, said the caravan provided information so that students can make well-informed decisions about transferring to a university.<\/p>\n
\u201cStudents gained firsthand insight into each institution\u2019s academic program, scholarship opportunities, student life and cultural traditions,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Marina Habib, Student Success Initiatives Coordinator, said the caravan allowed Black students to see a community that reflects their stories and resilience. \u00a0\u201cThe HBCU Caravan felt like stepping into a legacy, a living tribute to Black excellence and brilliance,\u201d she said. \u201cIt honored the work of those who came before us while affirming our students\u2019 place in that lineage.\u201d<\/p>\n
The proposal to host the caravan was submitted by Dr. Taneisha Hellon, UMOJA\/Black Student Success Counselor at Palomar College. \u00a0The event is just one way that Palomar College supports Black students. The Black Student Success Team at Palomar is a network of counselors, faculty advisors, coaches and peer mentors focused on advancing the academic achievements and wellness of Black students. The Umoja program provides culturally relevant support and community-building opportunities for Black students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
