Students of Color Program (SOC)

MassBay Students of Color, Boston

 

Our Mission

MassBay Students of Color event The Students of Color Program at MassBay is designed to increase the enrollment, recruitment, and retention of students of color at the college. The program is designed to assist students with their college experience and facilitate their journey toward achieving their academic, personal, and professional goals. We believe that sharing cultural differences and values with one another creates space for learning and growth. Therefore, the Students of Color Program is open to all students regardless of race and/or ethnicity. However, because students of color have been historically marginalized and underrepresented in academic institutions, our meetings, events, and workshops are specifically geared towards celebrating students of color and the experiences that they bring with them. We ask that everyone in the program is respectful of each other, maintains an open mind, and celebrates the diversity that MassBay has to offer. If you are interested in being a part of the program, want to learn more about it, or stay up to date on the campus events that the students of color program coordinates, please email the Coordinator of the Students of Color Program, Dejour Hollins, at dhollins@massbay.edu.
