About the African American Cultural Center
The African American Cultural Center (AACC) at UConn provides a supportive and inclusive environment that promotes academic excellence, social consciousness, and cultural identity for students of African descent. Founded in 1968 as a response to student activism, the center has played a vital role in the university's diversity and equity efforts. AACC serves as a hub for leadership development, community engagement, and intellectual exploration — offering programming, resources, and events that celebrate the African diaspora and promote dialogue across cultures. At the AACC, students find community, mentorship, and a space to thrive — both personally and academically.
