On this day, we celebrate, honor and pay tribute to the rich heritage, history and accomplishments of Black Americans and people of African descent, in our Ramapo community and nationwide, many of whom risked their lives for equality, justice and liberation for all people. In recognizing and celebrating Juneteenth, it is up to us as a community to continue to strive towards cultivating and creating a more diverse and culturally enriched campus community.<\/p>\n<p>The Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion &amp; Compliance invites the campus community to join us in a Juneteenth gathering for students, faculty &amp; staff of Color and Allies, on <strong>Monday, June 20th from 12:30-2 p.m. in the Alumni Lounges, SC 156-158, and via Webex<\/strong> (please check the Daily Digest for the link).
