Africana Studies Student Association
A student-led club at Fresno State that strives to create a safe space for conversations around the African Diaspora. We strive to encourage students to take Africana studies courses to learn more about the history and culture. On and off campus, we offer ways to gain in-person and hands-on experience when discussing and learning about different topics relating to the African diaspora. This includes hosting open forum discussions, hosting and participating in events that promote culture and history, and even taking local and out-of-state trips.

A college chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). NAACP is the oldest and boldest civil rights organization, founded in 1909. We do advocacy work to achieve equity, political rights, and social inclusion. On campus, we do events to educate people about things that impact our community. We also do social events to bring our campus community together, like our annual Black Excellence Gala.
