What is the Virtual Umoja Program Academy? The Virtual Umoja Program Academy is a two-day learning experience designed for the Umoja Community program faculty and staff.

Our goal is to bridge a connection with Black Resource/Cultural Center directors/coordinators to discuss the matriculation and success of black transfer students attending a University of California (UC) or California State University (CSU). As we continue to establish a connection with UC and CSU leadership, there is a growing desire to build and maintain connections with campus staff who have a direct impact on Umoja student experiences.
