It was with great honor that DBAC’s Vice President and PR Manager, Raihanah Siddiq and Tianna Williams, were able to serve as mentors to 30 incoming Drexel Freshmen through the Empowerment Retreat program last weekend. The retreat was born from a collaborative effort of different faculty members across the university. The committee consisted of Fatimah Conteh from DragonsTeach, Tasha Gardner from the Center for Learning and Academic Success Services (CLASS), Bernetta Millonde from Diversity Initiatives & Community Relations, and Ileana Santos-Gonzalez from Freshman Admissions. Their mission was to give new students of color a leg up in their academic career by providing them with peer mentors and meetings with faculty members to inform them of the resources and possible experiences available to them on campus.

Well, kind of. The Black Action Committee’s mission remains the same from its inception; to push for the social equality and advancement of the Black community on and off Drexel’s campus. The current executive board members hope to take the torch that was lit back in 2015 and carried by the various boards since and carry it farther.
With the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year, DBAC looks forward to building its membership and community on campus, as well as committing to its cause as a service and activist group. Our new logo reminds us of our mission and purpose and serves to show what we’re about to anyone looking our way.
