We are back with our second annual Black in Your Faculty! We ended Black History Month with a bang and held our exhibit which featured students’ work, on the 28th of February in the Student Learning Centre (SLC).
This year brought a great mix of different works that students are proud of. Thank you to those who have submitted their pieces, also describing their experience in their faculty and the importance of what they have shared. Enjoy the amazing talent of these Black Ryerson students and alumni below!

How has your experience been in your faculty?
At the start of my program I experienced feelings of doubt of whether or not I was good enough or qualified. I found myself comparing myself to other students in my class. The adjustment to post secondary, was a challenge for me. But overtime I realized, I had to work harder and remember why I am in school. Thinking about where I can be in the future, always keeps me motivated.

In my faculty there’s not a lot of black people, so it’s strange go from a culture you know to be surround by a culture you’re not as familiar with.
