Among activities held on Pennsylvania College of Technology’s campus to honor February as Black History Month were “Hidden Heroes: An Open Mic Night” and “The Juke Joint.” The gatherings aimed to enlighten students on the rich facets of African American history and connect them in a community of inclusion and diversity.
“It’s a privilege to celebrate Black History Month at Penn College,” said Meghan Delsite Coleman, assistant director of student engagement. “Crafting programs for students that are both fun and educational is one of the highlights of my work, and I enjoy having the opportunity to honor the struggles and triumphs of African Americans throughout history. Working with students to expand their understanding of culture and history, and potentially open their eyes to pieces of the past they didn’t know about, is extremely fulfilling.”
