What Students Say

Before Umoja, I was really isolated and didn’t assume any leadership roles. Umoja has revealed the leader in me and I’m grateful.

Terrell PatilloDiablo Valley College

I see Umoja as a sisterhood/brotherhood that will last a lifetime. My experience with Umoja has contributed to my life academically, spiritually and emotionally. For me, Umoja represents Black excellence.
