Today is University of San Francisco's annual day of giving, #DayoftheDons! This year, you can donate to the Cultural Centers to support our End of the Year Ceremonies. These 5 cultural celebrations (Lavender Commencement, Latinx Recognition Ceremony, Vizuri Kabisa/Black Grad, Indigenous Peoples of Oceania Ceremony/Native Pacific Islander Grad, and Interwoven/Asian and Asian American Grad) cost our graduating students $25 each to participate. If you donate today, you can help cover a student's fee waiver to participate in graduation celebrations that are culturally relevant to their identity and experience. Anything you can give will make a difference! So please select "Student Life (End of the Year Ceremonies)" when you donate through the link below!

Feb. 14 is an amazing holiday within a holiday. It’s a time to celebrate love when we’re also celebrating the numerous contributions of Black Americans from the past and the present during Black History Month. And these Black history icons have a lot to teach us about what love means not only in relationships, but in our community and for ourselves. https://www.huffpost.com//valentines-day-black-history-quo

"Blackface is as American as the ruling class. Throughout the 20th century, all-male fraternal orders, schools, federal agencies and the U.S. military collectively institutionalized the practice." https://www.washingtonpost.com//821b268c-2b0d-11e9-b011-d8
