Welcome to the ACS!
We are a university-wide, student-led organization dedicated to building a strong, welcoming community for African and Caribbean students across all faculties. Moving to a new country and starting university can be a massive transition, which is why our main mission is to make that process as smooth as possible.
Our members come from all corners of the university, united by a shared value of collaboration, inclusivity, and mutual support. Whether you are just starting out or well into your degree, we have got your back.
By joining the ACS, you gain access to a reliable network of peers who truly understand your journey. We focus on helping new students settle down comfortably, providing ongoing day-to-day support, and bringing everyone together. From navigating campus life to finding your crowd, the ACS is your home away from home.
