Additional Information

Co-Curricular Opportunities for Minors

The program regularly sponsors lectures and events such as plays, film festivals, exhibits, field trips, panels, and speakers that focus on contemporary or perennial topics of interest in all areas of the Black experience. In many cases, guest lecturers and artists visit classes and interact directly with students. These program-sponsored events are designed to foster a vibrant social and intellectual community within the program and to give our students a sense of identity and of what it means to be part of the African and African-American Studies community. We encourage our minors to participate in these activities to complement their classroom experiences.
