Support OU’s Multicultural Student Orgs (Athens, Ohio)

Due to recent state and federal legislation, diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts have been severely impacted. Ohio University has chosen to comply with these changes prematurely, putting beloved events that celebrate BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and other marginalized communities on hold.

Students are stepping up to host and fund Kushinda/Ritos de Pasaje, formerly known as Black Graduation or Black Baccalaureate. This cherished tradition celebrates the achievements of all multicultural graduates in a way that honors their unique experiences.

With the support of the city of Athens, students are working hard to bring these events to life—but we need your help. Additional support is essential to making these events as impactful as they’ve always been.

Your donation will directly support venue costs, event programming, and resources to ensure that our student organizations continue to uplift and celebrate Ohio University’s Black and Multicultural communities.
