The mission of the Lee Hagan Africana Studies Center is to promote academic excellence and social responsibility among faculty, students and surrounding community about issues necessary to the empowerment of peoples across the African Diaspora. This is accomplished by presenting challenging and stimulating workshops, speakers, research, conferences; seminars, exhibitions and performances that help develop and support cultural, political, educational, and economic growth for the community.

Students, college faculty, public school teachers, church groups, community groups, and interested individuals are welcome to visit and learn of the resources that the Center has to offer on the Africana experience.
