Celebrating Black History Month

In recognition of Black Heritage Month (BHM), St. John’s University’s Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) has organized a multicampus celebration organized by departments and clubs from the Queens and Staten Island, NY, campuses.

BHM (also known as Black History/African American History Month) is celebrated nationally in February. This month pays tribute to and honors the rich and diverse culture, legacy, traditions, histories, and innumerable contributions of the Black communities.

This year we honor the Black community through our theme, “Dare to Dream Big.” We invite you to think outside the box and dream like everyone is watching! It is our hope that in daring to dream big at St. John’s, we transform our dreams and visions into reality.

Join us in the University’s 2023 celebration of BHM. To accommodate the needs of our guests, we ask that all attendees register for each event.
