Today is Juneteenth—a day we reflect on freedom, resilience, perseverance, and hope.
Juneteenth challenges us to reflect on how far we have come while also asking how we can continue building a more inclusive and equitable future. At College of the Desert, we believe that every student deserves the opportunity to pursue their dreams, regardless of their background, circumstance, or starting point.
Please join us in celebrating the strength and contributions of Black Americans whose leadership, innovation, scholarship, artistry, and service have helped shape our nation.
