Student Clubs and Organizations

 

The University of Delaware offers a vibrant array of student clubs and organizations. These organizations foster a sense of community, promote cultural awareness, and allow students to explore social justice issues affecting communities of color.

Involvement in these groups is crucial for developing critical thinking skills, gaining practical experience, and building a network of peers with shared interests and passions. 

Please note these organizations are not hosted by the Department of Africana Studies.
