About ADC
Our mission and vision

Our Vision

The African Diaspora Club (ADC) is helping to create a world in which all African tribes and members of the Diaspora experience peace, love, stability and human rights.  Natural resources benefit 'the people' who have access to formal education and technology.  These conditions are bridges to true liberation. 

Our Mission

The African Diaspora Club (ADC) at Towson University celebrates and positively portrays diverse cultures of Africa, by encouraging and supporting academic excellence, building community, promoting networks, being engaged as global citizens and fostering life-long ties to the MotherLand.
 
African Diaspora Club Constitution

Article 1: Preamble

            We, the members of the African Diaspora Club hereby establish this constitution for the purpose of expressing our ideas, beliefs, concerns, and activities to Towson University. We will not promote, nor do we believe in promoting our own individual political ideas as those of the group as a whole. We believe in creating an atmosphere where students can convene socially, culturally, academically and grow together as young men and women.

            The name of the organization from this day forth will be recognized as the African Diaspora Club and will be referred to as such. No person can represent the organization without the consent of its members.
