This month, the United States Supreme Court reconvenes to answer important legal questions, including a series of affirmative action cases. One case, Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, seeks to redefine the role of race in college admissions by establishing a colorblind, or race-neutral, application process. Racial colorblindness involves eliminating categories of race in order to prevent discrimination. Yet, this racial ideology has a long, complex history as it relates to college admissions, the Black intellectual tradition, and today’s assault on affirmative action and race-conscious policies.

The co-presidents and secretary of the History Student Association would like to invite you to attend our Fall Mixer on Wednesday, September 28 from 11am - 1:30pm! The aim of this event is to allow history students the opportunity to meet with professors and staff members who may give students an idea of what careers in academia look like.
