6 the bLACk bOOk African diasporic Cultural Resource Center The mission of the African diasporic Cultural Resource Center (AdCRC) is to support undergraduate and graduate African diasporic student populations with their transition to UCSB. The AdCRC strives to assist in the holistic development of students by focusing on six areas: academic excellence, cultural awareness, professional development, leadership development, social involvement, and overall retention. The purpose of the AdCRC is to educate, promote, and encourage the interaction and dialogue among the diverse ethnic groups within the African diasporic communities of UCSB and to promote cross-cultural learning and interaction amongst all ethnic groups. The AdCRC is an environment for students, staff, faculty, and community members to develop an understanding of and appreciation for their African diasporic cultural identities. AdCRC staff strive to create and maintain a welcoming atmosphere for all to acquire knowledge in relation to the diversity of cultures within the African diaspora. The development of the AdCRC is also an affirmation of UCSB’s commitment, on behalf of the Educational Opportunity Program, to recognize the importance of maintaining cultural community. The AdCRC is currently located in Building 434, located adjacent to the Educational Opportunity Program and Women’s Center. The center will move into the first floor of the new Student Resource Building, located on west campus near the Pardall bike path and Isla Vista in late Fall 2006.

Meet the AdCRC Staff Cordaun Dudley Hi, my name is Cordaun “Diamond Dallas” Dudley and I am the Website, Marketing, and Publicity Intern for the African diasporic Cultural Resource Center within the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP). I am a fourth year student here at UCSB. My major is currently Black Studies. I am originally from a small town in the Great State of Texas, but currently embracing the state of California. My advice to the incoming new Black students would be to have a lot of fun, but to get as involved as possible and to stand up for what is right, while maintaining good grades. I would also encourage the use of all resources the UCSB campus has to offer. I believe that in order to stay the course on the road to success we need to not invest MAJOR time in MINOR people and to keep in mind that we go through pain in order to GROW through pain. At UCSB, I have been involved with several organizations, but my ultimate endeavor with the EOP AdCRC Internship position is to make my dreams of cultural unity, increasing uplifting Black events, and addressing and solving minority issues at UCSB a reality. Alexandria Filer Hello, my name is Alexandria Filer and I am an African diasporic Cultural Resource Center Intern for EOP. I am currently a fourth year student at UCSB with a major in Psychology and a minor in Education. I hope to one day be a psychiatrist or a psychologist working with children whenever possible. I am currently involved with a few organizations on campus. Last year a couple of my friends and I started an organization called Joining All Cultures Together with the purpose of bringing together different cultural organizations that would not come together otherwise for social events. Our first event was very successful and won the Alternative Social Programming Event of the Year. I will be heading up the organization again this year with hopes of creating even more successful events. I dance with the Polynesian dance group here on campus, Iaorana te Otea, and I also have been in the UCSB Gospel Choir since my freshman year. I am actively involved in the Black Student Union where I will be serving as the African Black Coalition representative; however, I have held other positions in the past. I am a member of the National Society of Black Engineers and of AKANKE, a Black women’s support group here on campus. This past summer I was a Resident Assistant for the Summer Transitional Enrichment Program, which was a very enriching experience for me and one I hope to repeat again someday. I try to find a balance between all my clubs, classes, and labs and spend time with my friends whenever I can. I love to bake, I love the Lakers, and I love to be where the action is. I feel that I am a very committed, hard working person but despite all I do I try and find time for the little things like watching my favorite TV shows and reading books for fun. I have a great enthusiasm for involvement on campus and I hope that my passion encourages other people to get involved as well. 7 the bLACk bOOk
