The Office of African-American Affairs has offered selected tutoring in STEM, Public Policy, or Commerce-related courses each year. This year, we considered all of the classes taken by Black students over the last five years and identified ten that might benefit from tutoring.

Selecting a Dean for a One-on-One Appointment

Many of you are aware of our spaces throughout Dawson’s Row, some have figured out ways to engage with our programming, and most of you have broken bread in Dawson’s Row with us and one another. In addition to the cultural programs we host, however, each Dean is available to meet with students to provide one-on-one support (i.e., academic, social, and emotional) to all our students.

For this transitional year, we have made a few significant changes to how students can make appointments with the Deans. All Deans are available to provide academic advising, support through difficulties, and sometimes, simply be a trusted mentor or guide.

Did you know?  A Civil Rights Memorial is dedicated in Montgomery, Alabama on November 11, 1989, created by designer Maya Lin. The Memorial is located across the street from the Southern Poverty Law Center's office building in Montgomery, Alabama, a city rich with civil rights history. A circular black granite table records the names of the martyrs and chronicles the history of the movement in lines that radiate like the hands of a clock. Water emerges from the table's center and flows evenly across the top. On a curved black granite wall behind the table is engraved Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s well-known paraphrase of Amos 5:24 - We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. The Civil Rights Memorial invites visitors to touch the engraved names. It is located on an open plaza accessible to visitors 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Did you know? The Wilmington coup d'état of 1898, also known as the Wilmington massacre of 1898 or the Wilmington race riot of 1898, began in Wilmington, North Carolina on November 10, 1898 and continued for several days. It is considered a turning point in post-Reconstruction North Carolina politics, credited as ushering in an era of severe racial segregation and disenfranchisement of African-Americans throughout the Southeastern US. Originally described by European-Americans as a race riot, the events are now classified as a coup d'etat, as white Democratic Party insurgents overthrew the legitimately elected local government. A mob of nearly 2,000 men attacked the only black newspaper in the state, and persons and property in black neighborhoods, killing an estimated 15 to more than 60 victims
