Share your expressions and experiences about the return to campus while contending with an ongoing pandemic and a turbulent social landscape in the midst of your academic studies.

The Center for Studies on Africa and Its Diaspora (CSAD), in partnership with the Department of English and College of Arts,  announces its inaugural student contest of artistic expression. 

Students are asked to reflect upon the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic amidst the continuing climate of racially motivated social unrest, especially as it pertains to their scholarly efforts and educational goals and to conceptualize their contemplations into written, audio-visual, or fine art manifestations. All submissions will be valued for the contribution they make to our collective understanding of this unique moment in our national history and in our university setting and for the top three winners in each category (written arts, visual arts, and performance/video arts), prizes will be awarded.

The deadline for contest submissions has been extended to Thursday, March 31, 2022. Submissions can be sent to https://bit.ly/csadreflectionscontest.
