Students benefit from a rich blend of academic, cultural, social and extracurricular pursuits.
Educational, cultural, community service and social activities are organized by students through the Student Government Association and the Office of Student Life. Students participate in more than 100 organizations, clubs and teams. Included are religious organizations, women's groups, numerous publications, pre-professional societies, and political, economic, social, sports and recreational organizations. Through the National Black Writers Conference , students interact with a diverse group of authors and playwrights including Paul Marshall, Amiri Baraka, Toni Morrison, Terry McMillan, BeeBee Moore Campbell and Walter Mosley. The Fall Convocation and the Presidential Lecture Series afford them opportunities to engage in stimulating dialogue with a variety of national and local leaders and scholars.
