Inspired by Dr. Christopher West, On the Yard is an initiative started by °®¶¹´«Ã½C Alum Sequoia Thompson with the goal of bringing professors to Black students both at local high schools and °®¶¹´«Ã½C to deformalize office hours and foster a more personal and accessible connection between professors, transfer coaches, and students.

On the Yard is a program component of the Transfer Bound Program aimed to provide further enrichment and access to Black students. Activities and resources from past On the Yard events included:

• Academic scavenger hunt
• NPHC Greek organization tabling
• Black resource programs at °®¶¹´«Ã½C tabling
• UC/CSU/Private/Out-of-State Application Assistance
• Music and raffle
• °®¶¹´«Ã½C Professors, Faculty and Staff office hours "On the Yard"
