Celebrating Community with the Black Ocean Stanford Scholars (BOSS)

​Join us for a school-wide ABC Coffee Convo on Thursday, February 12th from 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. in the Hartley Conference Room (Mitchell Earth Sciences) where we will learn about the impactful community-building and scholarly work advanced by Black Ocean Stanford Scholars (BOSS), a student group supporting the representation of Black individuals in Ocean related career paths.

​The Coffee Convo will feature remarks from BOSS members Stephanie Caddell, Ryan Rogers, Sydney Hampton, Ceyenna Tillman, Kemi Ashing-Giwa, and Catherine Lee Hing who will share the work of their organization, highlighting the inaugural Black Faces in Ocean Spaces Workshop hosted in collaboration with the Monterey Bay Aquarium this past September. BOSS members will reflect on the importance of community, allyship, and what they learned from the 3-day workshop.

​​Dom Johnson (Assistant Dean & Associate Director) of the Black Community Services Center (BCSC) will speak about the significance of Black History & Liberation month. Additionally, we will hear about the history of BCSC’s history on Stanford's campus supporting students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community members on Stanford's campus over the last 57 years.

​Come enjoy delicious Nirvana Soul coffee, pastries, and trivia after the presentations. Trivia winners will receive a bag of Nirvana Soul coffee beans!

​Everyone is welcome to this community-building celebration!
