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:
- Daily webinars hosted from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m., called The Black Hour
- Daily small group discussion forums from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., called The After Party
- A virtual advocacy day on Thursday, April 23, 2026, called The BlackOut
- Daily student-centered webinars hosted from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., called The Student Hour
- In-person closing party at regional host sites on Friday, April 24, 2026, called The Sneaker Ball
