Welcome to Race & Resistance Studies at SFSU
The mission of Race & Resistance Studies Department is to prepare students to think critically, nurture a social consciousness, actively engage with and respond to community needs, develop leadership skills, while deepening a foundation of knowledge related to the multiple histories and cultures of communities of color within and outside the United States through a comparative, relational, interdisciplinary and intersectional approach. Our faculty, several of whom have won awards for excellence in teaching, are committed to providing students with a quality education.

From Our Community
I am elated to be graduating with my B.A. in Communications and a minor in Race and Resistance. During my 4 years, I served on the first national Black Student Union's executive board as the Financial Officer and President. I have become a well-known student leader across our campus and pride myself on being that girl who gets things done! I am leaving my alma mater behind as a Magna Cum Laude graduate, debt-free and heading to the East Coast. I am looking to the future as I begin my pursuit of a career in higher education in Ithaca, New York.
