U MOJA The Center for Diversity & Social Justice Programs acknowledges and embraces the rich culture of graduating students of color while celebrating their achievements and contributions to the Wentworth community through the Umoja Cultural Graduation Ceremony. The ceremony was held virtually this year.
Why UMOJA? UMOJA is Swahili for unity. Swahili is a Bantu language and first language of the Swahili people from East Africa. Unity is both a principle and practice of togetherness in all things good and of mutual benefit. Through this ceremony, we want to show graduates the impact and strength that unity can bring before they begin the next stage of their lives. 1
