They call it Super Sunday and traditionally all Cal State campuses hold the informational event at predominately Black faith-based organizations.
"It was a way to help increase awareness of not only the CSU, but going to college in general for our Black youth," explained Doreen Hatcher, the assistant Vice President for Student Affairs at Cal State Channel Islands.
The university adopted a revised format since last year to be more inclusive outside of those who attend church.
"What we wanted to do was extend our reach to students that will go off to community colleges in the area, and we want to make sure that they still see us as an option and think about staying and going to school in their own backyard," said Hatcher.
Super Sunday will include food, activities and entertainment, as well remarks from CSUCI President Richard Yao explained Hatcher. She said that staff members from CSUCI will be available to provide information on the application and admission process for prospective CSUCI students.
The event is being held on Feb 23 from 2-4pm at Oxnard Performing Arts Center.
