A Dream Fulfilled....

At Homecoming's multicultural brunch on Saturday, October 17th, alumni/alumnae from 1965-1979 presented President Andrea Goldsmith with a plaque honoring Dr. Annie Mae Walker, founder of Stony Brook's Black Studies Department (1968).  The plaque will hang in the Africana Studies suite in commemoration of and gratitude to Dr. Walker for her leadership, patriotism and scholarship. Dr. Miletsky thanked the alumni/alumnae present for the plaque which he hopes everyone will visit!

 

AFS open house on November 4th was a big success!  Students enjoyed pizza, games, discussion and a brief history of their AFS Deparment including a talk by the members of our newest club: AFSS (Africana Studies Society).

A portrait of Africana Studies faculty who participated in the Open House to make the event even more special!  Thank you one and all.
