Afro American Cultural Center

Afro American Cultural Center The Afro American Cultural Center supports University of Iowa students by supplying a "home away from home" feeling that helps them in their development.

The Afro American Cultural Center, also known as the Afro House, was established in 1968. The Afro House supports the mission of the University by providing a safe space for cultural and identity development, a "home away from home," leadership and organizational development, intra- and cross-cultural exchange, and social justice transformation for the greater University community, with a primary

focus on students. We have computers, printing (up to 10 pages) wireless internet, books, flat screen tv, vcr/dvd/cd player, Nintendo Switch, a full service kitchen, a quiet study space, lounge room--anything you need to host a program, make a meal, study, relax, socialize with friends, and essentially have a "Home Away from Home." The center is not currently taking any reservations for events, meetings, programming, etc. but you are welcome to come and hang out and/or study with other students.
