Jasmine, Class of 2025

It is not really cliquey, but a lot of POC choose to surround themselves when they can with people who look like them and are from the same community just because they don’t see people like them hardly ever during the day and in classes at a predominately white institution. The resources for Black students are the Black African American Cultural Center, National Society of Black Engineers, African American Studies classes, NPHC’s, black events, black faculty, Africans United, Black Students Alliance, United women of color, united men of color. I wish CSU had more black students, black faculty, and black studies classes. I feel a little represented at CSU. You have to know that you belong anywhere and everywhere you choose to go as exactly who you are and it will be hard, but you have to hold on to that.
