Join us for the Mitchell Quarles African American History month convocation. This is our second convocation unbound – utilizing students from across campus to share their thoughts, films, and reflections on African American history.  President Wilson instituted the 2020-2021 convocation theme as From Till to Taylor to Floyd Black Struggles for Liberation and Dignity.
