About OAAA
30+Years, Highest Graduation Rate
The Office of African-American Affairs (OAAA) was created in 1976 to assist the University of Virginia in developing a welcoming, supportive environment for its Black students. Through its programming and outreach, OAAA enhances the University’s knowledge, sensitivity and understanding of Black issues, culture, and history. These efforts contribute to UVA having the highest graduation rate for undergraduate African-American students at a U.S. public university for the past thirty years!
