Concerned Black Students
It was in this activist environment that in 1969, black students at Â鶹´«Ã½ organized a Black Student Union under the name of Concerned Black Students (CBS) and began calling for Â鶹´«Ã½ to open its doors wider to black students, faculty, and staff as well as to offer courses in black studies. CBS remains a vital resource for minority students at Â鶹´«Ã½. Recognizing that role, along with the tradition of activism and involvement, CBS remains committed to cultivating and promoting a campus that embraces diversity and inclusion and is open to all students who share that commitment.
