  Mission  
 

The African American Student Union is responsible for the development and implementation of cultural enrichment through activities and educational workshops that reflect the various interests of the University of North Florida student body with a special focus on the African American culture. We do stress, however, that it is a culturally based organization open to all ethnic groups.

 
 
 

Vision 2006-2007
  The African American Student Union of the UNF seeks to provide the student body with a stronger sense and appreciation of a culturally diverse society. We strive to serve as an asset to the UNF educational experience by providing the students with numerous leadership, training and networking opportunities as well as thought provoking and enjoyable events each reflecting our mission statement.  
     
  We esteem to be an agency working collaboratively with any campus and/ or community organizations willing to contribute to the enrichment of the UNF student body, particularly those which highlight current and historical issues prevalent in the African American society.  
         
    Through becoming a member of AASU and/ or participating in AASU's events the students of the UNF will become more well-rounded individuals. They will aspire to be good, effective leaders with an appreciation for the progress of a multicultural society.  
         
    They will know and understand the mission, vision, values, and 2006-2007's theme and goals for the agency. They will have hands on access to the agency's leadership and will be able to actively participate in event planning and implementation. This year the African American Student Union wills to "Enable Greatness", for all those who aspire to obtain it.
