African American Club
 The African American Club is an organization rather than a club. Meetings: Mondays at 3:30 promptly in room 501. Mission: We are vested in creating awareness and understanding about issues that affect African Americans and African people. We are also an organization that attempts to give a voice to students within a specific multicultural/critical framework. We encourage all students to come and join and share in our vision.
