The Office of Intercultural Relations, Afro Dance, Black Men’s Group, Black Women United, the Gamma Pi Gamma Collegiate Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. (Sigmas), Umoja, and the United Black Association are excited to invite you to the Blackyard BBQ.

With good vibes and delicious food, the Blackyard BBQ is a collaborative signature event that centers and celebrates our Black students and community members. This event offers Black folx a space to show up authentically. The Blackyard BBQ will feature entertainment by some of the College’s excellent, Black students! You can look forward to some wonderful performances like a routine from AFRO Dance and stepping from the Sigmas to name a couple. Also, we are lucky to be joined by DJ Dapper who is known for his sets at the Promontory, Chicago Market Days, and Chicago Black Pride.

While this event centers and celebrates members of the Black community, all are invited to attend. We look forward to bringing this event to campus and hope to see you there!
