African American Society
Mission Statement
African American Society is a social and cultural organization open to all Dickinson students that promotes an awareness and acceptance of African American heritage. Our purpose is to offer both educational and entertaining activities that encourage cultural interaction and diversity. We work closely with other organizations in order to enrich the Dickinson College community through receptive and informative events. We wish to engage our club members in challenging projects, in order to better ourselves and ultimately our community.
Events

Effectiveness
On a scale of 1-5, 5 being the most effective, the President of the club gave her group a 4.
Problems/Dilemmas
The President, Tynesha Wright, states that the main problem and/or dilemma her club faces has to do with the receptiveness of the student body. She believes when students see an event is being sponsored by the African American Society, they tend to "assume than event is only for black people or is only promoting black awareness".
