Youth of Color Empowerment Day (YoCé)
Youth of Color Empowerment Day is designed to acknowledge the unique challenges and particular genius youth of color experience. It also provides students with the tools, resources, and support to be successful after high school. Through this targeted approach, we hope to achieve the universal goal of higher education. This program is open and available to all who are interested to apply and/or participate, regardless of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin.
A Day Dedicated to Local Youth of Color!
The Office of Admissions organizes and implements Youth of Color Empowerment Day (YoCé) each fall.
