In 2020, a dedicated coalition of leaders and advocates within the California Community Colleges pioneered the creation of Black Student Success Week. This annual event, observed during the last week of April, offers a time to reflect on our commitment to the academic well-being of Black and African American students.

The 2024 Black Student Success Week is scheduled for April 22-26, 2024. This year’s theme is Building a Better Future Together: the Urgency is Now. The 2024 Black Student Success Week will focus on innovative approaches to ensure Black and African American students succeed in community colleges.

Profits from the merchandise sales will be used for Black Student Success Week Student Scholarships. After you order and receive your merchandise, we encourage you to post a photo of you wearing it and tag BSSW on social media at @cablackstudents on Twitter and Instagram.
