UICASU (UIC African Student Union) is a student organization at the University of
Illinois @ Chicago that strives to educate and promote awareness of Africa
in the Chicago community, and Illinois in general. Throughout the academic year, we conduct a number of
group discussions on numerous issues affecting Africa and Africans, and also find solution to the problems.
In keeping with the vibrant spirit of Africa, we hold many social gatherings
intended to bring both UICASU and non-UICASU members together in unity and
host several widely popular events, including the annual Africa Fashion Show.
All this is aimed towards creating awareness and interest towards African
at UIC, and also to change the negative feeling about Africa.
While our focus and primary audience are African students and students
of African descent, we are much broader in our reach. The history of Africa and African heritage are quite
rich and we are open to anyone who is interested in learning about or
experiencing African culture. We also encourage our members to look
into problems facing Africa and seek ways to help combat the often-troubled
continent.
There are about 53 countries in Africa and hundreds upon thousands of different
cultures and beliefs, yet there is a strong bond that links the continent.
It is in this spirit that UICASU attempts to bring all people together
in happiness, peace and unity. Please note: SITE IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT, CONTENT WILL BE ADDED AS SOON AS I GET THEM --- PLEASE CHECK BACK SOON. Please
check out our events page for new and upcoming
events.
