EECS invites you to our first Juneteenth celebration this Friday from 1:00pm – 2:00pm EDT!

Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. It celebrates African American freedom and achievement. Its goal is to promote and cultivate knowledge and appreciation of African American history and culture while encouraging continuous self-development and respect for all cultures. More info >

Our Juneteenth celebration will include:

  • Performance of the Black National Anthem

  • Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation

  • Students will share their stories and experiences

  • Presentation of a student proposal on how to improve the culture for Black students in EECS to the department Chairs

All are welcome to attend!
