Setting the Standard

Through our programs and services, we provide opportunities that allow students to learn, develop and lead through cultural awareness and identity. We are dedicated to the social justice, cultural equity, and inclusion of our students as they continue their post-secondary education.

Creating BOLD Experiences

“African American Programs and Services has made me feel supported and that I belong on campus. It has helped me find people who look like me and can relate to me. It has connected me to other resources on campus and introduced me to clubs and organizations that I am a part of today.”
