Happy Friday AFRS family,

Here is a beautiful recap of the Welcome Black event that happened last month and all the fun we had! We would like to give a big thank you to everyone who showed up for the Welcome Black event, got the chance to meet clubs, dance, and eat good food.

Luckily, the Welcome Black event is hosted every year, so don't be afraid to show up next year!

Good morning AFRS family,

We would like to give a special thanks to Shonique Williams (Shonique Williams for Congress) for coming to CSUN to speak with our students in the Africana Studies Department! It was a space to engage in conversations about voting, the importance of voting, and what it means to vote.

We also wanted to take a moment to recognize our student, Taylor Prewitt, a Political science major and Africana Studies minor, for taking the initiative to make this opportunity possible! As well as a big thanks to Professor Richards for her continuous impact on our department and our students!

⭐️ Don't forget, your vote matters! ⭐️
