Welcome to the Pan-African Student Success Center
Established on October 17, 2016 as a result of the demand and activism of Black students on campus, the Pan-African Student Success Center is a safe space for students to show up unapologetically as their authentic selves and to share in ideas, lived experiences, culture, and co-conspiratorship to inspire and cultivate a sense of belonging and academic success for not only themselves but those students who will come after them.
The PASSC Center and its events are open to all CSUSB students, faculty, and staff. Whether you seek community, advocacy, or simply a space to engage in meaningful dialogue, you are welcome here.
