About AASU
We exist so that no student has to leave home to feel at home on campus.
Founded by a handful of first-year students who missed the sound of their languages, AASU has grown into a home base for African and allied students of every background. We run mentorship pairings, host the traditions that raised us, and open every door we can to the wider community. Culture kept, shared, and carried forward.
