The COVID-19 pandemic forced 萨克拉门托 State’s annual Super Sunday recruiting event to pivot to an online format this year, but enthusiasm for connecting with future Hornets through Black churches in the area remains high.

During Super Sunday 2021, on Feb. 28, the University’s administration reaffirmed the value of higher education in virtual sessions to members of participating churches in the 萨克拉门托 region.

The theme of this year’s event was  “Accessibility, Affordability and Social Mobility.”

During previous Super Sundays, University administrators attended services at some of the area’s historically Black churches and talked with congregants about the benefits of college education and the value of attending 囊状态.

今年，按照现行的COVID-19安全指南，会议通过Zoom在线平台举行。

活动以欢迎致辞和概述开始。 “超级星期天”的特色是分组会议，参与者可以收集信息并询问有关经济援助，入学和学生支持计划的问题，包括马丁·路德·金中心和教育机会计划。

“Super Sunday was a great experience,” said Marcellene Watson-Derbigny, associate vice president for Student Retention and Academic Success. “The event secured delegates from across the city who were able to acquire information about college, how to finance the collegiate experience, and how to support the journey” toward earning a degree.

“超级星期天”活动是科罗拉多州立大学各大学推广活动的一部分，旨在提高非裔美国学生的录取率和毕业率。

统计数据显示，博彩平台只有不到6%的学生是非洲裔美国人，而萨克拉门托的总人口比例为13%。

近年来，Sac州立大学的四年毕业率全面提高，包括非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、第一代大学生和有资格获得联邦佩尔助学金的学生。 The entire CSU system continues to work toward closing “equity gaps” and improving graduation rates for all students.

Despite the lack of face-to-face contact during this year’s Super Sunday, 囊状态 administrators are redoubling efforts to attract and provide resources to students of color.

今年在萨克拉门托地区参加的教会包括O Logos Alive，各各他基督中心，圣保罗浸信会，赞美事工中心，安提阿进步，示罗浸信会和圣殿AME锡安。

The event “is a great opportunity to spread the word about the value of higher education among our regional congregations,” Watson-Derbigny said, adding that Super Sunday “helps to amplify the importance of higher education and the many ways it transforms lives and leads to the fulfillment of lifelong dreams.”

囊状态 celebrated  Black History Month in February. More information can be found on the University’s 黑人历史月网页.
