African Student Association

Caribbean Student Association (formerly known as African West Indian Student Association)

African and West Indian Student Association was formed to make our college community more aware and more appreciative of the numerous cultures, peoples and societies found in today’s West Indian and African countries.

This organization also serves as a support group for all African-diasporic students. Witkaze's goals promote a diverse community where African-diasporic students can achieve academic excellence and feel their needs are recognized.
