Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. : From Selma to Minneapolis – The Struggle Continues: Valencia College Involvement

The purpose of A²CS is to provide insight into our African-American heritage, promote academic success and mental health awareness.

The African American Cultural Society – A2CS of the Winter Park campus was organized to create a unified voice for the African American student. We support a greater understanding, awareness, appreciation, of the African American culture past, present and future.

The purpose of this organization is to develop, implement, intensify, and perpetuate comprehensive programs. These programs will identify and deal with the problems of educational, political, and cultural dilemmas encountered by the Black students at Valencia College while promoting a positive image of the Black culture to the college and outside communities. The BSU will also establish and promote open lines of communication between the Black students and college administration, faculty, staff, and alumni in order to enhance the disseminating and receiving such information. Lastly, the organization will collaborate with other organizations to provide a diverse learning atmosphere to all Valencia students.

SGA is the official voice of the student body in matters of advocacy for students, administration of the college, and other student extracurricular activities, all of which strive to enrich the college experience for the students. This link will provide you access to the campus specific SGA organizations.

Our organization is dedicated to teaching about the black experience as well as helping students in their own personal development to become better students and leaders within our community. We will help promote these personal developments by committing ourselves to community service and giving back to the community, having a safe and open environment for social interaction and to teach about the history of black cultures.
