African American Studies

Giving Day contributions of every size make a major difference! Support African American Studies today or give to another area that helps the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

African American Studies is the systematic study of the historical, cultural, intellectual and social development of people of African descent.

• Gifts supporting the African American Studies Annual Support Fund help provide department-specific resources for students and faculty as they explore diverse approaches to intellectual and practical interests of the humanistic, social and behavioral sciences within this discipline.
• Contributions to the Kweku Hutchful Memorial Endowed Support Fund directly impact African American Studies students, as they work to reach their highest potential. Donations to this fund positively improve the student experience by expanding the department’s ability to support a wide range of College to Career and educational opportunities, including awards for student travel to professional conferences, departmental events and programs, funding for student and faculty research and more.
