Umoja-AFFIRM
Welcome To Umoja-AFFIRM
Umoja-AFFIRM is an academic program designed to increase African American students' retention, matriculation, and transfer. However, we are more than just an academic program. Umoja-AFFIRM is a community that provides nurturing services; although specifically designed for African American students, we serve students of all ethnicities. We are here to support you on your academic journey!
What to Expect
Umoja, meaning "unity" in Kiswahili, is a community dedicated to enhancing cultural and educational experiences for African Americans and other students. AFFIRM stands for Academic Force For Inspiration Retention & Matriculation. Umoja recognizes students' voices and histories, providing a platform for self-efficacy and inspiring academic success. We actively promote student success through responsive teaching methods.
