BNAACC programs include 100 STRONG, a retention program for first-year African American students; Academy of African American Arts, which focuses on a capella vocal selections, accompanied vocal selections, instrumental music, and expression through dance, and theatrical performance; and Food for the Soul, a weekly lunchtime lecture series. Not just for African Americans, the entire campus community is invited to come in and experience the warmth and wealth of opportunity at the Bruce D. Nesbitt African American Cultural Center.
