Launched in the fall of 2006, the Center for African American Studies (CAAS) serves as a model for teaching and research on race in America, building on the University’s strong core of faculty with a history of distinguished contributions to African American studies. These faculty members are working with a new generation of scholars who are reinvigorating the field with fresh perspectives on the changing ways that Americans view race.

Endowed funding is being sought to support:

• Lectures, events, and conferences
• Freshman seminars
• Graduate fellowships
• Course development and support
• Faculty and student research
