| Outcome |
In 2021 the center began its inaugural co-curricular programming efforts with Latinx Resource Center to showcase the rich Afri-Latinx cultural diversity within both the African American and Latine communities. The center hired EJ Wilson, a junior, Afri-Latinx student to serve as the center's first ambassador for Afri-Latine affairs. In that role, he served as a liaison between both centers and worked to coordinate efforts such as making sure that Afri-Latinx historical moments and important Afri-Latinx historical figures were highlighted and celebrated during Hispanic Heritage Month and Black History Month.
The goal was to raise awareness about the enormous Afro-latine diversity that exists in both the African world and the Latine world. |
| Benchmark |
As this was an inaugural effort between two centers there were no learning outcomes. Year two will see the addition of two Afri-Latine scholars in residence, both of whom will develop a series of programs with attendant learning outcomes and assessment measures |
