From the Nominator
A brotherhood. A sisterhood. A place to share similar predilections in food, music, and dance. A place to feel comfortable, and sometimes challenged. A place to share triumphs and tragedies. Af-Lat-Am has meant many things to many alumni. Fifty years ago, during the height of the civil rights movement, a group of black students gathered to discuss the myriad issues that impacted students of color. They met in dorm rooms and wherever else they could when free time allowed.
From the Judges
What a terrific 50th celebration honoring campus history and tradition with the reinvention of the Af-Lat-Am—something that will visually represent impact on campus. Great engagement of more than 100 new alumni, students, and founders.
