AAM History
The Afro-American Society (AAM) was founded in 1969 as a means to improve the academic excellence of Black students on campus. Since then it has developed into a dynamic organization dedicated to:
- Maintaining a political and social voice for communities of the African Diaspora at Dartmouth College
- Promoting cultural, educational, and public awareness
- Enhancing the relationship and understandings among all students, faculty, staff, and Black Alumni of Dartmouth College;
- Unifying the diverse members of the ever changing, ever expanding Dartmouth community.

While the Cutter/Shabazz Center for Intellectual Inquiry is an Academic Affinity House for students, it also houses the Afro-American Society office and space for our General Body Meetings and programming.
