African Studies Steering Committee
The Interdepartmental Program in African Studies is overseen by a coordinator (rotating every two to three years) and a steering committee. Students are advised in their concentration by a steering committee member of their choice. The coordinator 1) interfaces with the college administration, faculty and inquiring students on behalf of the program; 2) keeps track of the total number of concentrations and ensures that requirements are being fulfilled; 3) leads occasional steering committee meetings; and 4) maintains the program’s webpage and catalog description.
Director: Dianna Shandy (Anthropology)
