At church services across the region, Sac State leaders encourage Black students to pursue higher education
February 25, 2025
Sacramento State administrators attended services at area churches this week as part of Super Sunday, the CSU’s annual effort to enroll more Black students in college and help them earn their degrees.
President Luke Wood, in a video message to participating houses of worship, called Sac State one of the most diverse universities in the western United States. He cited various programs, including the nation’s first Black Honors College, as reasons why congregants and their families should consider attending.
“We truly have invested in our students through groundbreaking and intentional initiatives,” Wood said.
Sac State has been recognized by the California state Assembly as the state’s first Black-Serving Institution. Recently, the CSU named the University the site of its Central Office for the Advancement of Black Student Success.
At seven churches across Sacramento, University leaders spoke about these and other programs while offering information about enrollment, financial aid packages and other information about Sac State and the CSU.
