AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENT NETWORK

(AASNET)

The African American Student Network (the "net") is sponsored by the University of Houston's African American Studies Program. It is one of the many programs and services offered by our program here at the University. The AAS program strives to meet the goal of their African American students in every way possible, be it socially, academically, or financially.

The African American Student Network (AASNET-L), an electronic discussion group, was implemented in February 1992, as a strategy tp help retain African American students. Accessible to individuals all over the world, the net currently has 160+ subscribers representing 10+ colleges/universities around the world.

The "net" was designed with the needs of the African American student at heart. The main goal of the network is to bring together African American faculty, staff, students, etc., in a forum which encourages dialogue beneficial to the African American student. Students subscribe to the network, get involved in discussions, and introduce new topics of interest.

This year, we are starting anew with new topics of discussion. If you would like additional information, or would like to subscribe to the net, please contact Tracy Howard.
