African Studies Center
Gifts to the Center for African Studies are used to support
transformative student learning experiences that enhance knowledge and
understanding of Africa in the global context. As Pitt embraces Africa,
the Center for African Studies is endeavoring to significantly increase student
access to a wide range of program offerings in Africa that provide students with
opportunities for cultural exchange, language, study abroad, internships, and
engagement in interdisciplinary research. At the local level, these funds support
students who wish to attend Africa-focused conferences in the US, as well as
supporting student-centered events on campus. To make these opportunities
possible, funding support for student experiences is vital.
