The Black History Month Closing Ceremony serves as a powerful conclusion to a month filled with education, celebration, and reflection. Hosted by the African American Cultural Center, this event brings together students, faculty, staff, and community members to honor the richness of Black history and the strength of the UConn community.

More than a closing event, the ceremony is a time to reflect on the stories, voices, and experiences shared throughout the month. It provides a platform to recognize those who have made meaningful contributions during Black History Month—whether through organizing events, facilitating dialogue, or uplifting others. With impactful speakers, cultural performances, and moments of recognition, the ceremony highlights the lasting impact of collective learning and community engagement.

Join us as we close out Black History Month with gratitude, celebration, and a renewed commitment to honoring Black excellence—every day of the year.
