The Intercultural Community Center, in partnership with staff from the Division of Student Affairs and Black students at Oxy, has led the charge in the development of the Black Action Plan (BAP). The BAP is a multi-pronged approach designed to address some of the most significant and persistent needs among Black students, including how to address racial bias and implement anti-racist practices at all levels of the College. 

The Involvement Fair is a long-standing tradition at Oxy. Today, we're going virtual from 11 am to 2 pm PST.

Professor Keisha N. Blain—historian, author and president of the African American Intellectual History Society—is Occidental College’s 2021 Stafford Ellison Wright Black Alumni Scholar-in-Residence.
