When I was admitted to college, I longed for a space where I could see myself reflected in the community—where I could connect with people who shared my experiences and identities. That’s exactly what Unity Night is all about.
Unity Night is all about YOU and your future classmates coming together to share in good company and inspiring conversations. Expect surprises, laughs, and a sense of community that’ll leave you feeling uplifted and ready to join the Bronco community!
Unity Night is about recognizing the many identities we carry and the spaces we create for ourselves. As a first-gen student and Black Student Union co-chair, I know that having a sense of belonging isn’t always easy, but it starts with connection.
My time here at SCU has been one of self-discovery, self love, and growth, surrounded by a supportive and loving community, constantly encouraging me to cease the day.
There is a whole community waiting to welcome you to Santa Clara! Check out a list of some of our campus resources ready to support you! You will meet more during the Unity Night's Resource Fair!
