Celebrating Black History Month

In February, we celebrate Black History Month and recognize the cultural history, triumphs and adversities that are deeply rooted in our country's history. We seek to bring awareness about the many contributions of our Black and African American community members in our college and to the fields of engineering. 

CU Boulder Engineering recognizes that the terms 鈥淏lack鈥 and 鈥淎frican American鈥 do not describe the community鈥檚 identity as a whole. We also recognize that a term that feels right for one person may not adequately capture the experience of another. We seek to celebrate as broadly and inclusively as possible, and to encourage individuals to proudly claim whatever label(s) best describe how they personally identify. 

As a college, we are committed to creating inclusive and supportive environments both in the college and in society at large. We are excited to celebrate the contributions of our college and society researchers, instructors, student leaders and alumni. On this page you will find stories of members of our engineering community and resources. Let鈥檚 learn about, celebrate, and uplift our Black and African-American community members.
