Hello ASU Family,
Your Afrikan Student Union has been very busy in the last few weeks. ASU staff, SHAPE staff, and ASP staff went on a joint retreat to lay the foundation for next years goals. Look out for the ASU Vision coming to you in a few weeks. ASU staff has also been advocating for your best interests with Administration regarding the University's current stance on issues of harassment.
If you have not already joined an ASU staff committee, I encourage you to consider doing so. Visit the BLACKBRUINS.org website for the contact info for your ASU staff.
Make sure to continue to invite your friends to join the ASU 411. Lets continue to grow together!
In love & solidarity,
Tierra Moore
