African American Scholar Society & Friends (AASS & F)

The African-American Scholar Society & Friends (AASS&F) is a recognized organization under the University at Albany Graduate Students Organization (GSO). Our great expectation is to share our history, culture, scholars (past & present), and the accomplishments of our historical trailblazers.  As the present-day descendents of our ancestors, “The Antebellum American slaves, and The Civil Rights (Human Rights) Activists,” we hope to continue to reach for the dreams of total equality for all mankind.  As we unite with those from other walks of life, we want to connect and develop a communal society of everlasting friendships. Through our academics, arts, and networking associations we extend our hands to all.  All are welcome to come and join with us as we travel through this odyssey of life, which always seems to be in a state of changeability. Moreover, all are welcome to embark upon this great alliance of movers and shakers, but moreover participate in our cultural and informative events.

Art RGSO

The RGSO of Fine Arts is dedicated in accessing the art department to all graduate students, not just those enrolled receiving their Masters in Fine Art or Master of Art degrees. We want to get as many visiting artists that are working to speak and give slide lectures and these are open to all that are interested!! We have been hoping that other grad organizations will join us for openings at the Museum both in the public sphere and when there are graduate shows. Our goal is to bring the most current and contemporary artists to the school so as to give the graduate students (and under graduate)the best advantages in terms of meeting people and understanding the world they have chosen and how to go about it.
