The University of San Francisco this week is scheduled to host a segregated orientation dedicated to black students, a program that takes place in addition to its standard welcoming activities for all students.

The Black Student Orientation is slated for  Aug. 18, the day prior to the university's New Student Orientation.

The day-long event–billed as having been "designed by Black students, faculty, and staff to welcome new Black students to the USF Black Experience"–will "address the specific and particular needs of African American/Black students at USF," according to the school's website.

The program includes workshops such as "Community Building" and "Creating a 4 Year Plan."

The College Fix reached out to Kim Harris, assistant director of orientation programs at the private, Catholic institution, to ask if the school provides any other ethnic-based orientation programs.
