Center for the Study of Black Students

            The Center for the Study of Black Students is designed to conduct research on Black Student Unions and African American college students’: academic achievement; professional and pre-professional prospects; social and political impact on campuses.  The first three studies from the center are a worthy 10 year follow up to the study “African American Student Achievement: The Black Student Union,” which was the basis for the formation of the Office of the Black Student Union.  These studies, which will be released in 2008 are as follows: “10 Year Study of Black Student Unions”; “The Black Student Union: Historical and Contemporary Developments”; “In Pursuit of African American Males as Scholars.” 
            Each year, a series of articles that discuss issues pertinent to the development of African American students will be released by the center.  The authors of these articles will represent emerging voices in African American scholarship.
