NAACP Campus Chapter

The Department of FOCUS Outreach in the Office of Government and Community Relations is excited to announce we are reinstating the Case Western Reserve University Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The NAACP has been instrumental since its inception in 1909 in highlighting and addressing concerns that pose challenges within the African American community and other underrepresented communities of color. Collaborating with the Greater Cleveland NAACP Chapter, we are in the process of reinstating this wonderful organization here, on our wonderful campus at Case Western Reserve University.

To accurately measure interest and get the contact information of those interested, please fill out the questionnaire that is attached below and fill it out to the best of your ability. We would like to begin creating an email list to disseminate any pertinent information and hear from you about what work you want to be completed by the organization as we plan for the year to come.

If you have any questions, please reach out to any of the three names listed below:
George Bukenya gxb258@case.edu
Janice Eatman-Williams jae@case.edu
