AASI Mission: The mission of African American Student Initiatives (AASI) is to facilitate a support system which advocates academic excellence, celebrates Black/African American culture, and engages students with faculty, staff, alumni, and the NKU community. We support the university’s mission by recruiting and retaining Black/African American identifying students that promotes academic and social opportunities that advance them on a path to graduation.
We provide a safe space of holistic support with four focal points:
"If you want to go quickly, go alone; if you want to go far, go together." ~African Proverb
On behalf of African American Student Initiatives (AASI), I want to welcome you to Northern Kentucky University! Our office strives to uphold the principle of Umoja, which means to strive for and maintain unity in the family and community. We are truly a "home away from home" for students, faculty, staff, and alumni. We provide programming, advocacy, and outreach that assists with retaining Black/African students and encourages them to achieve their academic and personal goals.
