UI Afro-American Cultural Center Celebration: September 18-20, 2009
Student Registration
This fall, the Afro-American Cultural Center (Afro House) celebrates 41 years of supporting students on campus—and we want you to join us for the birthday bash! We hope you'll join us to recognize our history, renew relationships, and empower the next generation of Afro-American students on campus. Your presence will help demonstrate the need to address issues concerning the UI black community.
Many campus groups and alumni volunteers have worked hard to arrange a fun weekend of various activities for UI students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Bring your friends to enjoy this inspiring weekend honoring African American students on campus.
Please see the schedule of events and registration below. Students receive free or discounted entry to all events. Students can charge the registration fee to their U-bill.
Registration is no longer available. You are welcome to pay on-site (if applicable) at each event.
