Interested in Africa? Enjoyed that class on Africa last semester? Want to travel around the world? Join the Student Organization for African Studies (SOFAS).
The first meeting of the year will be on Monday September 15th at 8pm at the Mary Graydon Tables-look for a "SOFAS" table sign.
The Student Organization for African Studies (SOFAS) is composed of dedicated undergraduate and graduate students striving to put Africa on the map at American University. Since 2002, SOFAS has organized many events and has brought a multitude of eminent scholars and activists to AU to increase awareness about political, humanitarian, social and cultural issues involving the African Continent. SOFAS is also working towards building an African Studies Program within the School of International Service (SIS) and increasing the number of African-related courses to meet the rising demand and interest for such courses.
Have an idea about an "Africa" topic you would like to see an event on? Let us know - we can help! We plan to create another great calendar of African related events this year!
As SOFAS is a committee based organization there are many leadership positions available. Elections will be held at the meeting next week. Even if you are new to the Student Organization for African Studies please feel free to run for a position (email ausofas@gmail.org for more information). We look forward to having many new members this year!
Email ausofas@gmail.com with any questions, comments/suggestions or to get added to our email list-serv.
