SUMMARY:Africana Studies Celebrates 100 Years of Black History Month
DESCRIPTION:Honoring Our Roots\, Strengthening Our Path\, and Shaping Our Future. \nThe theme invites the CSUN community to explore and celebrate the vast and dynamic history of the African Diaspora — from the brilliance of ancient kingship to the enduring legacy of Black excellence across centuries. It uncovers generations of resilience\, growth\, and evolution\, reminding us that our story is one of continual progress and transformation. By reflecting on the triumphs and struggles that have shaped our collective journey\, we strengthen our path towards equity\, unity\, and empowerment. Most importantly\, this theme centers the next generation of scholars and change-makers\, whose innovation\, leadership\, and commitment will carry the community into a new era of achievement and possibility. \nSchedule of Events\nMemorial of Dr. Darryle Gatlin\nMonday\, February 9\, 2026\n4:00PM-6:00PM\nLocation: University Student Union | Grand Salon \nBlack Student Athlete Exchange\nMonday\, February 16\, 2026\n6:00PM-7:30PM\nLocation: University Student Union | Grand Salon \nBodies\, Power\, and Protest: Sport as a Site of Black Resistance\nWednesday\, February 18\, 2026\n10:00AM-11:15AM\nLocation: Whitsett Room | Sierra Hall 451 \nAfrican American Cotillions — History\, Culture\, and Tradition\nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n11:00AM-1:00PM\nLocation: TBA | Please check back \nBlack Poetry Workshop: Annual Celebration of Black Poets and Poetry featuring PoetRoni Girl of LA\nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n5:00PM-7:00PM\nLocation: TBA | Please check back \nThe Black Trilogy: Shaping the Future Through Sound\nWednesday\, February 25\, 2026\n1:00PM-2:15PM\nLocation: University Student Union | Flintridge Room \nDistinguished Visitor Speaker Program\, 100 Years Black History Month Celebration Lecture with Professor Stephen A.

SUMMARY:CSUN Orange Grove Clean-Up
DESCRIPTION:As part of Matador’s Day of Service\nSaturday\, February 7 | 8:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. \nJoin the CSUN Institute for Sustainability and Food Forward for a morning of service\, community\, and hands-on impact at one of CSUN’s most cherished landmarks—the Orange Grove (located between Zelzah & Lindley\, east of The Soraya). \nThis year\, the Orange Grove Cleanup is proud to be one of the featured service projects during Matador’s Day of Service\, a campus-wide day dedicated to giving back. Planted in the 1940s\, the five-acre grove along Nordhoff Street is home to more than 400 Valencia orange trees and stands as one of the last remaining orange groves from the San Fernando Valley’s agricultural past. \nVolunteers will help care for and maintain the grove by pruning and supporting the health of the trees\, ensuring strong future harvests. The fruit grown here serves a bigger purpose—helping stock the CSUN Food Pantry and supporting food pantries across Los Angeles County with fresh\, nutritious oranges. \nSign Up Here! (CSUN login required to register.) \nMatador’s Day of Service Schedule: \n\n8:00–8:30 a.m. | Check-in & light breakfast at Matador Square\n8:30–9:45 a.m. | Welcome and project assignments at Matador Square\n9:45–10:00 a.m. | Transition to project locations\n10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. | Service projects (Orange Grove Clean-Up; Children’s Center & Basic Needs)\n12:00–12:15 p.m. | Transition back to Matador Square\n12:15–1:00 p.m. | Closing remarks and grab-and-go lunch\n\nThis is a great opportunity to earn volunteer hours\, enjoy the outdoors\, and make a tangible difference—right here on campus and beyond. \nFor questions about this event\, please contact Jennifer Herrera via email at jennifer.herrera-alvarado@csun.edu. \nSign Up Here!
