In recognition of the contributions, heritage and culture of African Americans in the United States, Cal State San Bernardino will hold a number of events on campus during the month of February as part of Black History Month.

To launch the month-long series of events was a talk by businesswoman, educator, author and one of America’s most successful female entrepreneurs, Janice Bryant Howroyd, who spoke at CSUSB on Jan. 30. “A Conversation and Book Signing with Janice Bryant Howroyd” featured Howroyd talking about her latest book “Acting Up: Winning in Business and Life Using Down-Home Wisdom” and sharing more about how she grew her multi-billion-dollar enterprise The ActOne Group.

Howroyd’s talk was held at the university’s Santos Manuel Student Union and was sponsored by the Jack H. Brown College of Business and Public Administration.

Throughout the month of February, the Pan-African Student Success Center and the Cross Cultural Center will hold “All for Blu,” a school/office/snack supply drive for the Blu Education Foundation, which provides educational and human services programming to youths, adults and organizations in order to build healthy, productive communities.

In addition, on Feb. 23, CSUSB will participate in the California State University’s Super Sunday, when leaders from the CSU and its 23 campuses visit African American churches throughout the state to talk about the importance of preparing for college. On Feb. 9, CSUSB administrators will be visiting Life Church Of God In Christ in Riverside. On Feb. 23, CSUSB President Tomás Morales will be visiting St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church in San Bernardino, and CSUSB administrators will be visiting New Hope Missionary Baptist Church and Ecclesia Christian Fellowship, both in San Bernardino, and Immanuel Praise Fellowship in Rancho Cucamonga.

Also, the university’s Black Faculty, Staff and Students Association (BFFSA) will host the eighth annual Pioneer Breakfast on Feb. 28 at the SMSU Events Center, where five prominent members of the African American community will be honored. The Pioneer Breakfast also serves as a fundraiser for five scholarships for current CSUSB students and supports the annual African American Graduation Recognition Ceremony.
