2016 Black Convocation at UCLA
The Black Convocation is an annual event which welcomes new and returning students to the UCLA campus and makes them aware of the different organizations, departments, and resources available to serve them. In keeping with this year’s theme–“A1DAY1”–the event will be an evening full of Bruin pride, providing encouragement, anecdotes about the past, and a glimpse of the future from UCLA faculty, staff, and alumni dedicated to supporting all students.
The 2016 Black Convocation, “A1DAY1” will be held in Haines Hall. A Reception will begin at 5:00 pm in Haines 153 & Haines North Patio, with the Convocation Program immediately following from 6:15 pm to 7:30 pm, in Haines 220.

Bunche Center for African American Studies; the Department of African American Studies; the Black Alumni Association, the Academic Advancement Program; the Institute of American Cultures (IAC); IAC Development; the Division of Student Affairs; the UCLA Office of Residential Life, UCLA Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, Black Graduate Students Association, and the Afrikan Student Union.
