H. Fred Simons African American Cultural Center
The H. Fred Simons African American Cultural Center (AACC) at the University of Connecticut, established in 1968, is dedicated to supporting African American students, faculty, and staff. Our mission is to promote cultural preservation, quality leadership, and academic excellence. We achieve this through a variety of programs and activities that foster a deeper appreciation and understanding of the rich heritage and cultures of African Americans and the African Diaspora.
