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.

In attending the Umoja Program it has inspired me in more ways than I can imagine. It has provided me with the opportunity of being introduced to the resources that will assist in my growth toward academic and college success.
