Project ReMiX: Exploring the Mixed Race Generation
Pre-college and Community College Outreach
Project ReMiX is a monthly, interactive discussion series that explores issues facing the mixed race generation – a growing population in the United States and especially at USC. Asian Pacific American Student Services (APASS), CBCSA and El Centro Chicano (ECC) provide the program to attract students who might not otherwise seek out our specific cultural centers.
CBCSA is committed to providing visiting students with insight into college life, encouraging them to pursue higher education despite current and foreseeable obstacles. Targeting students from as early as 4th grade through community college, the program offers participants a university tour followed by a presentation headed by one or more CBCSA staff members. Most presentations include a panel of USC’s African American students of diverse backgrounds, who share their rich and varied college experiences. The panel concludes with USC students answering any questions that visiting students have concerning college life. This outreach program serves as another vehicle for USC students to give back to the community while enhancing their experience at USC.
Black QueerStory
CBCSA, in conjunction with the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) Resource Center, holds an annual discussion during the month of February addressing being black and gay. Unity through Community: Black and Latino Overnight Experience
