Greetings!
The African-American Faculty Staff Association's mission is:
to establish a mechanism through which African Americans are fully recognized as contributing members of the University of Texas at Arlington and the community at large. The organization will accomplish this objective by advocacy and support for issues deemed important by AAFSA.
To achieve its mission the AAFSA is committed to promoting academic excellence, mentoring African-American students, and providing opportunities for African-American faculty, staff and administrators to network, to work together, and to increase and improve the status of African Americans on the campus of UT Arlington.
As a faculty member who has taught and worked at UT Arlington for over fifteen years and who has observed the evolution of the university's commitment to diversity and support of its minority faculty, staff and students, I have a special commitment to working with other African-American faculty, staff and administrators to ensure their success on UTA's campus. There is strength in numbers and there is even more strength in unity. Thus, I encourage you to join with those of us in the African-American Faculty and Staff Association to serve our students, to serve UTA, and of course, to serve ourselves.
Over the course of the academic year the AAFSA will host a variety of events to promote professional development, networking, and mentoring for African-American faculty, staff and students. I hope that you will join the AAFSA in not only attending and participating in these activities, but also by helping to plan them and make them successful.
If you have any ideas or programs that you wish to bring to the attention to the AAFSA, please feel free to contact me on campus at 2-9068 or by email at Dulaney@uta.edu.
Sincerely,
Dr. W. Marvin Dulaney
Associate Professor of History
