African American Student Development
Division of Student Affairs
 Welcome to AASD!
The African American Student Development program (AASD),
formerly the African American Cultural Center, exists to support,
promote and enhance the university's commitment to
multicultural education by providing activities and
resources on issues and aspects of African American cultural
life. With the integration of internal and external
resources, the center provides opportunities for leadership
and cultural exploration for all Towson students and student
groups. In particular, students of the African Diaspora are
afforded services that enhance their intellectual, academic,
social and personal development in a place of cultural
familiarity.
For more than 30 years, the AASD has served as an "oasis of cultural wealth" by providing programming and resources that allow
students, faculty/staff and visitors the opportunity to delve into the rich history, folkways, contributions and issues surrounding African American life. Housed on the third floor of the University Union in room 313, the AASD is a place of inclusion and prides itself on being a catalyst for interaction and discourse.
The university's location in the northeast corridor of Baltimore County makes the AASD a great resource for local scholars from surrounding universities, colleges, and cultural arts institutions.
It is equipped with a lounge area, study/meeting space, and
a resource library. The AASD serves as a meeting place for several student organizations.
