The University of Oklahoma is most known for its football team hitting the field each fall, but that’s one of many groups to make their debuts.
One of those is Welcome Black Weekend. The OU coordinator of African American programs and services, Angelique Price, said, “Welcome black weekend is a three day orientation for incoming or transfer Black students. The Welcome Black Week is a part of African American Programs and Services.”
Welcome Black Weekend will be held Aug. 26-28. This organization is all about getting connected with Black students of OU. Price wants to make a connected program saying:
“Our biggest goal is creating community for those students.”
Welcome Black weekend is a way for students to community in a predominantly white institution.
