About the African American Cultural Center
Mission:
“The African American Cultural Center promotes
awareness of and appreciation for the African American
experience through activities and events that enhance
academic excellence and strengthen cultural competence
for the campus and surrounding communities”
The African American Cultural Center (AACC) is actively
engaged in the academic life of NCSU with programs,
resources and services that facilitate the cultural,
intellectual and social growth of the entire university
community. As an integral academic unit that operates
under the auspices of the Provost’s Office, the
AACC is an indispensable component of NCSU’s mission
of “building a diverse and inclusive campus
community, fostering demographic and intellectual diversity,
fostering internal and external partnerships and adopting
an operational model that embraces efficiency and accountability”.
In support of its mission, the AACC maintains a library
and an art gallery.
Values: As we work to fulfill our mission, we strive
to remain focused on the values that live at the heart
of everything we do and everything that the African
American Cultural Center represents. In all of our
relationships, projects, activities and events, we
value:
- Truth and Integrity: We seek the truth and promote
honesty and integrity in all matters, from the information
that we disseminate about the African American experience
to the way that we handle the day-to-day business of
the AACC.
- Creativity and Resourcefulness: Our
constant search for fresh ideas and innovative ways
of doing things
enables us to make full and productive use of the
resources that are available to us. We work to develop
new resources
as needed.
- Respect and Acceptance: The AACC
is enriched by people who have different ways of
seeing the world. We respect
these differences and strive to embrace them as
we celebrate the vast diversity of the African American
experience.
