Beyond the Classroom

Beyond the classroom students have attended: church services, movie screenings such as “Invictus”, and Sweet Honey on the Rock. The department frequently hosts year-long specialized series with invited lecturers, movie screenings, and a chance for us to just dialogue. As a Black Studies student, you will be fully prepared to become a global citizen in an ever-changing world.

The department provides a variety of opportunities designed to support students’ intellectual needs both within and beyond the classroom — from special guest speakers to movie series and community outreach. These opportunities encourage students to expand their cultural and academic horizons.

• Students have the opportunity to have their voices heard by contributing to the Heritage Journal.
• Students have the opportunity engage with invitation guest lecturers such as Dr. Gladys Mitchell-Walthour, Prof. Kim Taylor-Thompson, and Dr. Deirdre Cooper Owens.
