Ohlone College- Ms. Yessenia

WHAT IS UMOJA?

The Umoja Scholars Program is a learning community at Ohlone College. We combine academic learning with counseling, social support, and opportunities for cultural exploration. This program is designed for students of African ancestry, to promote their success, yet ALL STUDENTS ARE WELCOME.

Our name comes from the Kiswahili word 'umoja" that means "unity." Our Umoja program is part of the statewide Umoja Community.
