Dinner with the Director: Paul Robeson Cultural Center

Join us for dinner at the beautiful Rutgers Club while celebrating the impact of the Paul Robeson Cultural Center on students of the African diaspora. Jakora Thompson, Director of the PRCC will share successes from the past year and give a glimpse into plans for the PRCC’s future. Students will share what receiving scholarships from the PRCC has meant to them and the recipient of the 2023 Champion of the Year Award will be honored. Registration includes a full dinner buffet, 1-hour open bar, and Rutgers- themed giveaways. Hosted by the Executive Advisory Council for Division of Student Affairs.

The Paul Robeson Cultural Center was founded in 1969 and is dedicated to serving the Rutgers University community by offering a wealth of programs, initiatives, and services that reflect the robust history, heritage, and diversity of the African diaspora. Widely recognized as the first black cultural center on a college campus in the United States, we encourage to consider the complexities of their identity, while celebrating Blackness in all of its expressions and embodying the founding legacies of academic excellence and intersectional social justice.
