Umoja

Fresno City College offers two student support programs, IDILE and SYMBAA, that are part of the Umoja community.

Umoja promotes student success and improved lifetime outcomes for all students through a curriculum that is responsive to the legacy of the African and African American Diasporas. When you are part of IDILE and/or SYMBAA, you are part of the larger community of Umoja.

IDILE

The IDILE program provides services and support to assist with ensuring Fresno City College students are afforded the opportunity to transfer to a four-year university at a UC, CSU, HBCU or any applicable college system.

SYMBAA

The Fresno City College SYMBAA (Strengthening Young Men by Academic Achievement) Program, with an emphasis on the African American male experience, assists students in achieving success through a coordinated program of courses and student support.
