Mission Our Shirley Chisholm LLC is a community that is designed to support students who are of African descent, identify within the African Diaspora and/or wish to foster connections between different cultures within the diaspora. Shirley Chisholm community residents are committed to developing a safe supportive and celebratory environment with particular regard to those complexities of being a student of African descent at a predominantly white institution. The community is named after, Shirley Chisholm, a former professor of politics and sociology at Mount Holyoke. Before teaching at Mount Holyoke, Shirley Chisholm made history as the first African-American woman elected to the U.S. Congress and the first woman to run for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.
