The Center for Black Studies convened a roundtable discussion on Saturday, August 23, 2003, with a small group of Santa Barbara community members who share our commitment to social justice and equality, and who also embrace community collaboration. We determined that this sort of collaboration can take many forms, including:

  • enhancing communication between the university and the community on issues of mutual concern
  • facilitating access for the community to university resources
  • participating in the development and implementation of community based educational, cultural, and social initiatives
  • providing opportunities for co-sponsorship of cultural activities on campus and in the community
  • creating a community calendar (coming soon)

We found this gathering to be very productive in our efforts to get to know each other and to think out loud about our goals and plans for the coming year.

  • Anna Everett, Center Director
