* The creation of a community within which we can embrace and nurture our cultural identities.

We aim to provide the campus community with knowledge of our goals by:

* Holding seminars and lectures for educational purposes
* Coordinating and executing social events
* Having meetings and membership to all who wish to be educated about our culture
* Strengthening the system of support to descendants of the African Diaspora
