African diasporic Cultural Resource Center
The mission of the African diasporic Cultural Resource
Center (AdCRC) is to support the communities of the African diaspora at the University
of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). The AdCRC strives to assist in the holistic
development of students of the African diaspora by focusing on six areas: academic
excellence, cultural awareness, leadership development, social involvement, spiritual
development, and proactive civic engagement. As a result of successfully developing
our students in each of the aforementioned areas, the AdCRC, in turn, aids in the
overall retention and graduation rates of our Black students at UCSB.
The AdCRC educates, promotes, and encourages the interaction and dialogue among
the diverse ethnic groups within the African diasporic communities of UCSB and to
promote cross cultural learning and interaction amongst all ethnic groups. The AdCRC
is an environment for students, staff, faculty and community members to develop
an understanding of and appreciation for their African diasporic cultural identities.
AdCRC staff strives to create and maintain a welcoming atmosphere for all to acquire
knowledge in relation to the diversity of cultures within the African diaspora.
The development of the AdCRC is also an affirmation of UCSB’s commitment, on behalf
of the Educational Opportunity Program, to recognize the importance of maintaining
cultural community.
