Afrocentric Student Program
The Afrocentric Program focuses on the recruitment, retention, and holistic support of self-identifying Black and Afrocentric students and their allies. We are committed to elevating their voices, ensuring diverse representation, and advancing equity work regardless of race, religion, political affiliation, sexual orientation/expression, etc. We celebrate diversity and culture while pursuing education that benefits our community.
We seek to increase access to information while providing resources, including:
