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 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.
