The African American Studies Department welcomed back alumni at an open house during the Black Alumni Reunion.
Just as alumni had plenty of stories to share, African American Studies faculty and staff had great news to talk about, too. In order to participate in this year’s festivities, and keep alumni in the loop, the department hosted an open house and book raffle.
