The students understood the assignment! 🙌🏾 Our SU students are getting excited for this week’s AAS–CFAC Student Mixer—and they even created their own video to make sure their fellow students know how to find us! 🧡🍊
We love seeing this kind of student energy and enthusiasm around African American Studies and CFAC. See you Thursday, SU students!
