A Welcome from ASC Director Omolade Adunbi

We at the ASC are looking forward to seeing you at many of the exciting events we have lined up for this academic year.

The African Studies Center (ASC) at the University of Michigan

ASC provides strategic guidance and coordination for Africa-related education, research, and training activities on campus, and promotes opportunities for collaboration with African partners on the continent.

Founded in 2008, the center serves as a conduit for the university’s many Africa initiatives in the sciences, arts, humanities, social sciences, engineering, and medicine.

The center is organized around the following research initiatives that have been funded separately by the Office of the President and different stakeholders on campus: African Heritage and Humanities (AHHI)African Social Research (ASRI)STEM-Africa, and U-M African Presidential Scholars (UMAPS) Program.

We strive to support our students and faculty on the front lines of learning and research and to steward our planet, our community, our campus. To do this, the African Studies Center needs your support.
