Pioneer Breakfast recognizes honorees and awards scholarship

Local community members were honored for their service and student scholarship recipients were announced by the Cal State San Bernardino Black Faculty, Staff and Student Association at the seventh annual Pioneer Breakfast on Feb. 22. This year’s theme was “An Everlasting Legacy Defines the Future.”  “When I hear Pioneer Breakfast, I think of legacies that have come before us inspiring current students,” said Prince Ogidikpe, 2018-19 president of Associated Students Inc.  "I always want to participate in the hopes that I too can make someone’s life different and better. It is also an avenue for students from low-income, socioeconomic backgrounds to benefit. It helps a lot.”  The Pioneer Breakfast, which coincides with the celebration of Black History Month, serves as a fundraiser for five scholarships benefitting current CSUSB students. Proceeds also support the annual African American Graduation recognition ceremony.
