The Yale University African American Affinity Group (YAAA) was established by a planning team in early 2006. The charge to the team was to form an affinity group to support the African American community at Yale. As part of a university wide diversity initiative, the University leadership has also encouraged the creation of a Hispanic affinity group and an Asian American affinity group.
How Can You Support This Important New Initiative?
- Attend and support future events and activities
- Engage (to help define and carry out the groups goals)
- Make connections (with each other at every opportunity)
- Help shape the group's activities
The primary goal of the group is to build and sustain a strong African American community at Yale University. In order to successfully achieve that goal your ongoing participation and involvement is key. Please stay tuned for upcoming events and opportunities to "be a part of history!"
