2022 BAAFSSO Salute to Graduates

BAAFSSO SALUTE EVENT HEADER 2022

Celebrating NJCU's Graduates of African Descent

For students of African descent, earning an undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral degree is a feat not accomplished by many that came before them due to enslavement, segregation, racism, and injustice.

In recognition of their sacrifices—as well as those made by their ancestors and family members—we mark this time with a ceremony that recognizes the historic importance of this momentous occasion.

Guest Speaker
Rev. Dr. Forrest Pritchett
Senior Advisor to Provost on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Seton Hall University

This event is free and open to all students, staff, faculty, family and community members. Guests do not need to RSVP.

Graduating students who identify as members of the African Diaspora may register here:
