Black Student Success Summit
The Black Student Success Summit (BSSS) is an annual one-day event held in the spring where Black youth come together from across Oregon & SW Washington to learn how to navigate the education-to-career pathways for various industries, through interactive workshops, affinity group caucuses, motivational speeches, and structured networking activities.
All BSSS activities are culturally specific, in that they are created and implemented by Black professionals representing both public and private sectors acting in concert with Black educators.
Workshop topics stem from workshop evaluations, students’ voices, and an annual Black community needs assessment, conducted in conjunction with students and community members.
The overarching goal of the summit is to enhance students’ social capital such that they are empowered to be unlimited in their choice of educational and career opportunities.
