Galloway, N.J. - The Unified Black Students Society kicked off Black History Month with the annual Pan-African flag raising at the Arts and Sciences Building circle.

President Amaiya Roundtree of Neptune,  said the group gives members a voice and a presence on campus, and a way to connect with other African-American students. 

"There is a culture shock coming to college," she said. "It was nice to know that there was a UBSS here."

Vice President for Student Affairs Christopher Catching and Professor of Communications and Africana Studies Donnetrice Allison also spoke.  Catching said there are many events scheduled for the month and he invited everyone to participate and learn.

"Sharing conversations and dialogue is the hallmark of learning,"  Catching said.

The group meets Thursdays at 4:30 p.m. in C102. Other officers include vice president Matthew Holden of Philadelphia, Amanda Newmuis of Penns Grove, secretary; Alana Williams of Trenton, treasurer; Destinee Martin-Clarke of West Orange, student advisor; Sicily Samuel of Berlin, education chair; MyTiara Boyd of Camden, public relations; and Fantasia Johnson of Jersey City, event coordinator.
