“The mission of Super Sunday is simple: to encourage more students of color to pursue a college education and the life of purpose, accomplishment and service to others that will be possible with your college degree,” said CSUB President Dr. Lynnette Zelezny.
This year, the event was held virtually. The following churches in our community participated in CSU Super Sunday 2021:
