North Star Committee
Mission and Purpose
Our mission is to create an African-Centered Education that includes an experiential and academic plan that provides holistic pathways to achieve student success for all scholars identifying as part of the African Diaspora.
We are dedicated to creating and fostering an environment where Black/African Scholars feel a deep sense of belonging, empowerment, and purpose. Rooted in the rich traditions of African-centered culture, history, and education, our purpose is to celebrate and center the diverse experiences of Black/African Scholars while equipping them with the tools necessary for academic, personal, and professional success.
