Ubuntu Education and Leadership Summer Symposium

June 24th – June 27th, 2024

The Ubuntu Summer Symposium introduces self-identifying Black and Afrocentric high school students and it's allies to the college experience through structured academic, leadership, and cultural activities. The goal is to expose students to different elements of the college experience that will better prepare them for the transition from high school into college. The program offers a dynamic curriculum that integrates leadership, college preparation, and culturally relevant themes for support of self-identifying Black and Afrocentric students.
