The Palomar Black Faculty and Staff Association (PBFSA) would like to celebrate our students’ accomplishments at our ceremony Mahafali – A Celebration of Black Student Achievement on Thursday, May 15th from 6-8pm at the Palomar College Student Union (San Marcos Campus). We celebrate Mahafali—Kiswahili for “graduation”—as more than a ceremony. It’s a tribute to the strength, culture, and legacy of African American excellence. 

We’ve planned an exciting night which will include dinner and entertainment. We are also gifting Kente graduation stoles that you can wear with your regalia at the main commencement ceremony. 

Please fill out the following form to let us know of your interest in participating by Friday, May 9th at 5 p.m.

If you have any questions, please contact Amber Colbert: acolbert@palomar.edu or Cheryl Kearse: ckearse@palomar.edu.
