Our Crowdfunding Groups
WHO ARE WE?
In a world that thrives on diversity, it is essential to create spaces where every voice can be heard and valued. The African American Student Association at OSU Tulsa aims to unify and promote the cultural heritage, history, and achievements of those of African descent and promote educational programs that enrich the university experience for everyone. Our goal is to prepare, empower and inspire African American students toward their purpose with an attitude of excellence. We believe that community service, integrity, unity, dedication, and perseverance are keys to success and create great leaders. This student organization had previously been inactive at the Tulsa campus but relaunched in the Fall of 2022. In the Spring of 2023 AASA began hosting meetings and fun events for students and in the Fall of 2023, hosted a campus-wide Leadership Retreat that included students and Advisors from OSU, Tulsa Community College and the University of Tulsa. AASA desires to be a group that champions diversity, education and leadership to create a more inclusive and vibrant campus environment. Historically, the OSU Tulsa campus is located in the Greenwood district, which was the site of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. It is pivotal for AASA to cultivate future leaders to impact, not just the campus, but the broader Tulsa community and the state of Oklahoma.
