CSU Super Sunday
Super Sunday is a CSU program to connect with and inform African American students and their families about what it takes to get into college.
Now in its fifth year, Super Sunday, which began with 24 churches, has expanded to include more than 90 churches throughout the state and has led to the development of companion college fair events called Super Saturday.
On three consecutive Sundays each February, CSU leaders including the chancellor, trustees, presidents and others speak at various churches across the state to share with students, parents and community mentors information about preparing for college, applying to the CSU's 23 campuses, and obtaining financial aid.
The event is part of the CSU African American initiative which started in 2005 when Chancellor Charles B. Reed and Bishop Charles E. Blake convened community, civic, business and education leaders together to develop new ways to educate K-12th students, parents and families about the value of a college degree to ensure a stable future.
A central theme of Super Sunday messages is a call to begin planning for college admission as early as middle school and to enroll in challenging classes that prepare students for college.
