The Black Recruitment and Retention Center is a student initiated, AND entirely a student ran organization that was founded in 1983 as direct response to the removal of Black students from affirmative action policies and programs, including admissions consideration, early academic outreach programs, and retention services.
We hold various recruitment and retention programs throughout the semester in order to:
1) Actively recruit Black students and students of color from high schools and community colleges
2) Be aware of and involved in the political realm of education for our community
3) Maintain a strong connection with our communities outside of Cal, while retaining ourselves academically and socially.
Check the D-Lab Calendar to view and register for upcoming working group meetings.
