Akwaaba

The Program in African Studies sponsors Akwaaba, the Princeton African Students' Association. "Akwaaba" means "welcome" in Akan, a Ghanaian language, and, as the name implies, its policy is to welcome all people interested in culture and affairs of the Africa and its diaspora. Among the association's goals are organizing events aimed at educating the Princeton community on the rich and diverse cultures of the countries in the African continent as well as the issues affecting it, fostering initiatives linking students to various organizations in Africa, and encouraging and supporting African students applying to the University. So as the Akan would say, "akwaaba." Check the calendar for the times and dates of coming events, and see the Akwaaba Web site for more information.
