Events

See our calendar of events on the left for upcoming important dates.

Annual Gala

College Success Scholars Annual Gala Spring 2013Our spring gala is both a fundraiser and an opportunity to celebrate the enormous personal, academic, and professional efforts and accomplishment of scholars, parents, and the CSS community. At the gala we recognize Black and Latino males in the external community who have an exemplary history of distinction through service in their professional fields.

Game Nights

Game nights provide the opportunity for scholar brothers to unwind from their rigorous studies and celebrate birthdays with food, cake, video games, and board games.

Parents Meeting

At our monthly meetings, parents can learn about the progress of the CSS community, hear what and how their children are doing, and recognize specific achievements of scholars. Meetings also include a potluck meal to which parents are invited to contribute.

ERC Days

Scholars bond while working out at the Epply Recreation Center where they may teach each other different workout methods, play basketball together, or play other sports and games as available.

Jam Sessions

Scholars get together to create and listen to music.

Registration Resource Referral

Scholars provide feedback about professors and courses to give fellow scholars insights into teaching styles and course offerings at the University of Maryland. Advisors are available to review scholar schedules and provide guidance on creating a healthy and manageable workload.

Review Sessions

Scholars or team leaders who excelled in an academic course volunteer their services to facilitate review sessions in courses that other scholars are experiencing academic challenges and where there is a high demand for tutoring. The review sessions provide an overview of course material, exams, quizzes, and homework.

Resident Assistant Workshops

Current scholars who serve as residential assistants at the University Of Maryland offer insider tips for fellow scholars who are applying for the position with two workshops for each step of the application process.

Intramural Teams

Scholars participate on campus teams in sports such as soccer, tennis, and flag football.

I Can Do That Project

Scholars serve as mentors, tutors, and instructors for participants in the I Can Do That Project – a community-based college preparatory program that provides low-income, male students from diverse backgrounds at Northwestern High School with the academic, leadership, and personal skills needed to graduate from high school and prepare for higher education.

Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Educations Tours

Scholars help lead tours, host tour participants, and serve on panels to provide information about the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Education for students K-12 who visit the University of Maryland.

Scholar Testimonials

Elias Yishak
Class of 2017

CSS has been a blessing to me ever since the first day when I interviewed for this program over the summer going into my freshman year. This program has given me a cohort of brothers that I have been lucky enough to go through college with. As I have aged, CSS has also given me the opportunity to pass down my knowledge to the younger generation. This is what I feel the program really is about. When I was a freshman, I looked up to the upperclassmen as my mentors. I tried to do what they did to achieve success like they did. Now I hope the younger generation looks up to me the same way.
