Academic Societies and Organizations
The AARCC proudly assists students in enriching their academic experience by becoming involved in societies and organizations that are specific to and promote their fields of interest. In addition to preparing students for academic excellence, these societies and organizations serve as opportunities for UCSC students to collaborate with other brilliant young African American students and emerge as leaders in their community.
