Focused on sharing and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Africa with all students, regardless of historical backgound, the Black Student Awareness Committee sponsors activities that are both educational and entertaining, while pertaining to our vision of public knowledge and understanding of black culture.
Programs such as fashion shows, movie series, art exhibits, volunteering opportunities, and lectures highlight Umojaa, Kwanzaa, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Black History Month, and other important times throughout the year. The committee also produces the popular Camille Armstrong Memorial Scholarship Stepshow, an exciting annual competition among traditionally African-American fraternities and sororities.
