Welcome to the African American Cultural Center

The African American Cultural Center is a student success unit housed under the Division of Academic and Student Affairs (DASA). The AACC is open to and serves all identities. We provide activities and programs that enhance academic excellence for the campus and surrounding communities.

Calling all students, faculty, staff and alumni!

Proposals are still open for the African American Cultural Center's 5th Annual Symposium on Afrofuturism and Diasporic Scholarship (ADS)!

Hear from Nia about her experience presenting in last year's symposium!

For the past five years, this signature event has served as a platform to elevate scholarship from the African diaspora, explore inclusive research methodologies, and center Afrofuturist frameworks across all academic disciplines.

🌟 Why Submit? Accepted presenters are invited to join the ADS Scholarly Cohort, an officially recognized Packways High-Impact Experience (HIE) for students! You’ll gain 1-on-1 mentorship, hands-on support, and presentation prep guided by the AACC Library, NC State Libraries, and the Office of Undergraduate Research. The cohort is also open to faculty, staff, and alumni. It’s a collaborative space of dynamic thought partnership. 

🌟Ready to elevate your research, share your ideas, and add a valuable line to your CV?

Happy Birthday to our AACC family! We are celebrating you all month long! Here’s to another year of prosperity 🎂
Thank you everyone who came put on Friday last week to talk our “Whats On The Table” where we discussed the many masks people wear day-to-day! 🎭

We had a great conversation about identity and how we individually show up in spaces authentically and true to purpose ♥️

This week, ask yourself about the mask that you wear, and where do you wear it the most? 

See you this Friday for a very special WOTT
