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.
A Day Dedicated to Local Youth of Color!
The Office of Admissions organizes and implements Youth of Color Empowerment Day (YoCé) each fall.
