What is Campus Connection Day?

Campus Connection Day is a single day event designed for students and families who wish to learn more about the African American and Black student experience at 17吃瓜网, as well as the opportunities and resources available for underrepresented students. Participants of Campus Connection Day will have the opportunity to network with current students, as well as faculty and staff throughout the university community.
