Dr. Coté will be sharing space with students who are a part of the Sankofa Scholars Program at California State East Bay. He will be co-facilitating a breakout space for same-gender-loving, LGBT+ and non-binary students. The Sankofa Scholars Program supports the retention and graduation of first-year, continuing, and transfer African American Students at Cal State East Bay. Additionally, Sankofa Scholars “participate in a one-year cohort educational experience that includes intensive counseling and mentoring. Students will complete their upper-division GE requirements (B6, C4, D4, CGW) by taking three successive courses during their first year at Cal State East Bay. African American Faculty who are committed to student success will teach Sankofa courses. As Sankofa students continue at Cal State East Bay, they will be encouraged to serve as role models, to mentor future students, and to promote CSUEB as a welcoming and inclusive institution.”
