The Black Experience at Massasoit
The mission of Massasoit Community College promotes the importance of a diverse learning environment, and we seek to bring that work to life on our campuses. Nearly 60% of Massasoit’s students are people of color, and more than one-third of our students identify as Black.
With that in mind, the Black Experience at Massasoit is how we can share information, resources, and events designed to celebrate Black students, honor Black history and stories, and promote equity on campus.
