Reaching Out to the Black Community Feb. 26, 2021 Share This:
Every year, during Black History Month, President Fram Virjee and faculty/staff members from Cal State Fullerton visit different African American churches to encourage congregants (and their children) to attend college … and, specifically, Cal State Fullerton.
This year, because of the pandemic, in-person meetings weren’t possible so the president virtually visited four local African American churches: Christ Our Redeemer (Pastor Rev. Dr. Ralph E. Williamson), Johnson Chapel AME (Pastor Rev. Delman Howard), Friendship Baptist Church (Pastor Rev. Kenneth Curry Jr.) and Second Baptist Church (Pastor Rev. Ivan S. Pitts). While the format was different, the message was the same: “Come to Cal State Fullerton. We want you, we respect you, we need you.”
