The Organization of African Students

Club Description

The Organization of African Students welcomes EVERYONE who has an interest and/or love for Africa.We strive to bring together those who share similar experiences and those who are looking for new experiences, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for Africans at the university, while also embracing non-Africans who are interested in learning about the continent or being a part of a community of great people. In addition, we hope to discredit the myths about Africa and promote its various cultures as we strive to break down cultural, ethical, and racial barriers. We also hope to expand and unite African Students here at the University with the Charlottesville community all while celebrating our most popular events during the year known as Africa Day & Umoja Ball.
