New Program to Help Biracial and Multiracial Students

on

The Student Academic Success and Educational Equity Programs Unit is working to make continued progress to address the ongoing success needs of diverse students. The unit has launched a new program entitled the Biracial and Multiracial Institute of Achievement (BMIA) to help students who are biracial and multiracial to succeed at Sacramento State. This program, which launched in March, is designed to position students of multiple races for success. Students in the program receive customized support as well as access to resources and information to assist them in achieving belonging and to foster their personal and professional goals. Program leaders called ‘equity apprentices’ help students in the program with peer-to-peer information and work in conjunction with other equity programs to achieve success. 

For more information and/or if you wish to assist with the program contact Dr. Marcellene Watson-Derbigny, Associate Vice President for Student Retention and Academic Success, at watsonml@skymail.csus.edu, or visit the BMIA website.
