The Been Ya Sociey is a student-led group with a mission to help students learn about African American Studies at the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø. Our goal is to connect what’s taught in class with real-life experiences. We build strong ties between students and teachers, the college and the community, and schoolwork and future careers.
As a student-led group, we offer events, service projects, and career support. We want to give everyone—majors, minors, and anyone interested—the tools to become leaders, advocates, and changemakers in their communities.
