What does AASC mean in AFRICAN

The primary purpose of the African American Student Center (AASC) is to serve as an advocate for and provide aid to African American students in their academic pursuits. It serves as a resource by offering helpful information, resources and support so that African American students can reach their academic goals successfully.

All African American college students enrolled at the university can access services from AASC. The center welcomes all members of the community who identify as Black or of African descent who are looking for support or resources to assist them with their educational goals.

AASC offers various services designed to help support its mission of advocating for and aiding the academic success of its members. These services include providing individual and group mentoring, tutoring sessions, counseling on career paths and internships, social events and activities, seminars on campus life topics, workshops on financial aid procedures and other resources related to student success.

Programs such as mentoring sessions, tutoring sessions and workshops take place daily throughout the semester. Social events such as movie nights or outings typically occur once a month depending on student interest. Seminars about campus life topics typically happen once every semester.

All services provided by AASC are free of charge; however, there may be costs associated with certain materials needed for individual courses such as textbooks or supplies used in projects assigned by your professor/instructor.
