The VèVè A. Clark Institute for Engaged Scholars of African American Studies prepares undergraduate students majoring in African American Studies to meet the rigor and intellectual demands of top professional schools, graduate programs, and post-graduate careers.
The program provides a strong network of mentorship and support for young scholars via monthly seminar meetings with faculty and graduate student mentors, the development of independent research projects, presentation of research at conferences, and travel through engaged learning experiences.
These activities develop a strong sense of community for students along with preparing them for their future careers, all with the knowledge and skills to dig deeper, reach higher, and move deliberately to advance justice and dismantle structural racism and systems of oppression.
