People of Color Concerns Conference set in April
This coming year’s (2007) People of Color Concerns Conference (POCC) weekend provides a perfect forum for us to celebrate the legacy of black achievement at SUNY Fredonia. Doubling as the Black Student Union Alumni Reunion, the weekend begins on Friday, April 20, with an opening ceremony and dinner. From the 21st to the 22nd, some 65 active members of BSU will interact with their alumni at conference panels, the Gospel Explosion concert, and the Fashion Show—the latter which will include an alumni scene. During that weekend, the BSU alumni will unveil The Nabta Fund, an annual scholarship that will provide financial assistance to an exceptional student who is an active member of the Black Student Union.As BSU alumni, we have a chance to secure our legacy at Fredonia by providing financial assistance to those that come after us. A Yoruba proverbs sum up our responsibility beautifully. “If the elephant cannot find enough to eat, the shame belongs to the forest.” The alumni constitute the forest, and the future BSU students are the majestic elephants. If they are unable to eat (complete their education) due to lack of vegetation (financial aid), the shame is on us. Similarly, another Yoruba proverb states: “One does not see the king’s child without seeing the mark of the king about him or her.” Let us make sure our mark can be seen about our future princes and princesses. If you would like to make a donation to the Nabta Scholarship Fund, please contact BSU alumna Zoe Bogan or Karen West at the Fredonia College Foundation.
