Black Graduation
Our annual Black Graduation: Black Excellence Ceremony is a memorable event held at the Adobe headquarters in Downtown San Jose.
The class of 2024 Umoja-AFFIRM graduates were honored for their academic achievements at Evergreen Valley College and transferred to numerous universities, such as Howard University and San Jose State University!
The ceremony includes inspiring speeches, cultural performances, and a formal recognition of each graduate's accomplishments.
Summer Bridge Program
Our annual Summer Bridge Program provides local high school students a head start on their college journey!
We visited 6 High Schools across San Jose during our Summer Bridge Tour Run, recruiting students to EVC:
- Mount Pleasant,
- Oak Grove, Gunderson,
- University Preparatory Academy, Santa Teresa, and
- Silver Creek.
Our program allows them to earn transferable college credits by taking classes during EVC’s summer semester that can also fulfill their high school’s course requirements through dual enrollment.
Our summer scholars gain access to our program’s resources, services, and network opportunities, ensuring students that they’ll finish our 6-week program with valuable skills, experiences, and connections for their future endeavors.
