Mission
The African American Society exists to celebrate, empower, and uplift students of African American descent by fostering a vibrant community rooted in cultural pride, shared experiences, and collective growth. We strive to create a safe and affirming space where students can connect, express themselves freely, and engage in meaningful dialogue about identity, history, and the future. While our focus is on supporting Black and minority students, we welcome individuals of all backgrounds who seek to learn, grow, and stand in solidarity. Our commitment to inclusivity means creating opportunities for everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, or cultural heritage to engage with the richness of the African American experience, build meaningful connections, and contribute to a campus culture of education, unity, and respect.

Membership Benefits
Membership in the African American Society provides students with a vital support system and sense of belonging. Members gain a safe space to celebrate culture, share experiences, and find community with peers who understand the unique challenges of being a minority on campus. The club offers mentorship, networking, and leadership opportunities that empower students academically and professionally, while also hosting cultural events and dialogues that uplift Black voices and educate the broader campus community. Most importantly, it creates a family away from home a place to feel seen, valued, and united.
