CBCRR Community Outreach and Welfare Check
|
During the past year, due to the pandemic and the concomitant lack of student interest in participating in programming as a result of a number of factors including increased stressors related to the pandemic, the center recognized that our energy would be best directed towards connecting with our students on a more personalized basis. As result, we initiated an ambitious plan to call and email all 1411 African American undergraduate and graduate students to do a welfare check, inform them of the broad array of services and resources available to assist them including meeting with me, virtual drop-in psychological services, and virtual, and to gently remind them of the center’s commitment to supporting them.
Method
The effort involved our six (6) apprentice directors contacting all 1411 or 235 student contacts per apprentice director. Each apprentice director was provided with the call script to ensure continuity and quality across exchanges; in the event that a student was unavailable our apprentice directors were instructed to leave a voice mail. Every phone call was followed up with an email which included a list of services and resources available as well as an invitation to reach out to the center director during his virtual office hours.
All 1411 students on the roster provided by the Registrar’s Office were called and we either spoke directly with the student or left a voicemail; regardless of the outcome of the call, each student also received a follow-up email.
Our outreach effort was executed over a three-week period (week 2-week 5 of each quarter) beginning in fall quarter 2020 and concluding in the spring quarter 2021. There were a total of 4233 calls (1411x 3) made to and 4233 emails (1411x 3) sent to students. Every point of contact was entered into an outreach log which included whether or not the apprentice director spoke directly to the student or if they left a voicemail and when they sent the follow-up emails. Any student concerns were also entered into the outreach activity log. This allowed us to track each apprentice directors’ outreach productivity as well as if there were specific areas we should attend to more closely
Results
At the beginning of fall 2020, I averaged 10-12 student visits per week for virtual office hours. By week 8 of the fall quarter, I was averaging 5-8 student (and family) virtual office visits per day; that number remained steady throughout the rest of the academic year.
Based on our results, it was decided that this outreach effort would be extended through the 2021-2022 academic year. It is too early to draw any empirical conclusions about the impact of our efforts. It should be emphasized the goal of our outreach effort was student welfare; it was not intended as a pedagogical exercise.

Arturo Schomburg Afri-Latinidad Scholar-in-Residence Program is an educational and cultural program that is designed to help students explore and understand the critical historical and cultural links between the African diaspora and her cultures and Latin America and the Latine cultures it helped shape culturally. Students will learn how to utilize their cultural education as a liberatory praxis in which education is understood as both an epistemological practice and an ontological process by which Afro-Latine people reproduce and refine the best of themselves.

Afro Latix Ambassador Program
|
In 2021 the center began its inaugural co-curricular programming efforts with Latinx Resource Center to showcase the rich Afri-Latinx cultural diversity within both the African American and Latine communities. The center hired EJ Wilson, a junior, Afri-Latinx student to serve as the center's first ambassador for Afri-Latine affairs. In that role, he served as a liaison between both centers and worked to coordinate efforts such as making sure that Afri-Latinx historical moments and important Afri-Latinx historical figures were highlighted and celebrated during Hispanic Heritage Month and Black History Month.
The goal was to raise awareness about the enormous Afro-latine diversity that exists in both the African world and the Latine world.

Let’s Go CAMPing!

There is a need to keep black students who are interested in STEM to be able to know the necessary steps to continue their pursuit of a STEM major. Additionally, many current black STEM students do not know of CAMP or OAI and the resources there for them. These students can learn about free tutoring opportunities, mentorships, scholarships, and internships. Additionally, both programs aid with helping these students to higher degrees and opportunities just for students of color.
Learning Outcomes/Goals & Objectives
As a result of this workshop, participants will learn:
The benefits and resources of CAMP and OAI
Meet and communicate with two Black Professional women whose jobs on this campus are for promoting and keeping the presence of people of color in STEM
