“Being a part of Harambeé was an exciting
experience for me as well as my fellow freshmen. The organizational
fair and the program did an excellent job of showcasing the many
culturally specific groups on campus, what they are all about, and
how to become a member. Harambeé is more than a simple ‘coming
together’: it is a night of celebrating black heritage, black
culture, societal progression, and the wealth of possibilities for
the future.”
