The Intellectual Diversity Association Presents: The Future of the Africana Center: Separating Myth from Reality

Friday February 25th at 3pm 
in Willard Straight Hall

In the wake of the last minute announcement by the Cornell Administration of its intention to reorganize the Africana Studies and Research Center, there has been much misinformation of students about what this really means for the center's staff and faculty, and ultimately its students.


IDA is giving you the opportunity to:
  • Come discover the implications of the move from an informed student and faculty base
  • Engage in discussion
  • Express your feelings about the matter


Brief lecture will be given by the Save the Africana Center (SAC) Campaign Group


Time and Venue: 
3:00pm, Friday February 25th (tomorrow!)
Art Gallery in Willard Straight Hall
