Resources & Services
The African American Resource Center strives to provide students with the resources and training needed to become a successful student at California State University, Fullerton. There are a list of campus and community resources that we find may be useful for undergraduates, graduates, staff, and faculty.
Department of African American Studies
The Department of African American Studies is an interdisciplinary intellectual community committed to advancing knowledge about Black people in the United States. The department strives to explore the historical meanings and dimensions of cultural identity, power, colonialism, resistance, and freedom, and to explore their implications for contemporary political, social, and cultural expressions of Black identity. The Department of African American Studies examine the issues affecting Black communities in Orange County and the United States that continue to shape and define Black communities in the post-Civil Rights Era in the United States including Black intra-racial dynamics, gender relations, marriage and family patterns, mixed raced identities, sexuality, creative expression, and hip-hop culture.

Black Student Success Advising Program
The Black Student Success Advising program (BSSAP) at CSUF is dedicated to fostering connections within the university community where students feel seen, heard, and valued. We aim to empower students through a holistic advising approach that emphasizes persistence, knowledge of resources, and nurtures until graduation.
For more information, please visit the Black Student Success Advising Program website.
Financial Aid
Financial aid is available to remove the cost barriers that may prevent you from pursuing your educational goals. Assistance is available from a variety of programs funded by federal, state, university and private sources. Students who demonstrate significant financial need may qualify for grant aid while students with less need may obtain low cost loans. Financial need is determined through a federal formula that assesses the family’s relative financial strength and ability to contribute to meeting the student’s educational costs.

Black Faculty & Staff Association
Since the late 1960’s, the African American Faculty and Staff Association (AAFSA) has been partnering in the educational enterprise at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF).
The mission of the California State University, Fullerton Black Faculty and Staff Association (BFSA) is to foster unity through these three pillars: advocacy, building community, and the elevation of Black faculty, staff and students; and to be a critical resource within the community based on just, equitable, and inclusive education in pursuit of continued success of the University.
As resources for advocacy, community building and elevation for Black faculty, staff and students we strive to support programs inside and outside the classroom and sponsor activities that serve to build alliances between students and BFSA members.
