Support Students Living in Ujamaa

CBAA family,

We continue to lift up the family, friends, and classmates of Shawn West in this time of grief. I am also grateful for the many faculty, staff, and administrators who have been working with our students on the ground and ushering them through this time. They have been helping our students utilize numerous resources including counseling services and academic accommodations in the wake of this tragedy, while simultaneously processing their own feelings and emotions. We continue to lift them up as well.

• Donate to CBAA in our efforts to provide food for our Ujamaa community for the next two weeks, as well as flowers and plants for the building, and other resources to support our campus community. (SCROLL DOWN TO DONATE)
