Spotlight on… AAAS Community Center

May 21, 2009

The Department of African American and African Studies Community Extension Center, 905 Mt. Vernon Ave. is the outreach component of the university’s Department of African American and African Studies.

Located in the historic Mount Vernon area in near east Columbus, the Community Extension Center provides community outreach and education programs designed to enhance the educational opportunities of students and improve the quality of life for children, teens, adults and senior citizens who live and work in the neighborhoods near and around the center and Columbus’ urban communities.

Activities such as faculty and student research projects, non-credit courses designed to offer personal and community enrichment, and college classes aimed at non-traditional students provide a valuable context for the university’s commitment to outreach and engagement and research.
