Ujima, That's Who We Are!

What does Ujima mean?

Ujima pronounced (oo-JEE-mah) is the third of the seven principles of the Nguzo Saba (principles of Kwanzaa). Kwanzaa is an African American celebration of the first fruits. Ujima meaning collective work and responsibility represents the direction we guide students in their learning and development.

What is the Ujima Program?

The Ujima Program is a learning pathway designed to enhance the experience of African American students through counseling, instruction, mentoring, and community building. The Ujima Program’s primary focus is to equip our students with resources to aid in successful academic, social, and personal development. Each student will receive an introduction to college through math, English, personal growth and development, and study skill enhancement courses. Upon successful completion students will advance in their sequential courses and continue in a general education pattern towards transfer and degree completion. Ujima students work together as a community by participating in college tours, partnership in the arts, tutoring (midterm/ finals) and community activities.
