Returning to the Umoja Village
A community needs a home to thrive and the Umoja Community at Berkeley City College is no different. The return of in-person services has been a boon to the college, and some of the biggest benefactors are the learning communities on campus.
Celebrating Black History Month at BCC
On February 1st, Berkeley City College marked the beginning of Black History Month with an opening ceremony titled “Black History is American History, Black History is World History,” organized by EOPS/CARE Coordinator Ramona Butler and BCC’s Black Student Union.
February is Black History Month, and the Peralta Colleges will be celebrating all month long. Merritt College President David M. Johnson, in an email to the Merritt Community, described the history of this month of remembrance:
