Washburn U African American and African Diaspora Studies

Congratulations to our first AAADS minors who are graduating on Saturday! Check out this feature story about the minor in The Ichabod.

New Perspectives: African American and African diaspora studies minor now available - Washburn University Alumni Association and Foundation Washburn’s African American and African diaspora studies minor was developed not only from a need, but an expectation brought forward by students and faculty to help address the topics of race, power and privilege.

Thank you! Washburn University's African American and African Diaspora Studies program raised $1555 from 16 gifts and a match donation from the WU Board of Trustees this week as part of the Washburn Day of Giving!
