The 2026 Black Student Success Week is coming up on April 20-24, 2026. This year’s theme is Revolution (Re)defining Black Student Success. The 2026 Black Student Success Week shifts from institutional designations (BSIs) to an overall structural transformation and calls for a deliberate redefinition of who higher education serves, how it serves, and who controls the narrative of Black student success. The week’s activities will be held virtually and include the following:
