Our AFAS WUSTL alum, Dr. Heather Skanes, is doing important work.

Making it official with #WashU27! Today, we welcomed 1,834 fresh faces to our community. I have no doubt that each of our newest students will find ways to connect, collaborate, and make an impact on our campus, in #STL, and beyond. Welcome home, Class of 2027!

Thank you to all who stopped by @WUSTLArtSci Bear Beginnings Open House for #washu2027. We are excited to welcome you again to campus and hope to see you in classes. Check the last photo for open classes for Fall 2023. #wustl

It was another night to remember on the WashU campus! Once again, I'm sending a shout-out and a big welcome home to #WashU27. Know that you have a community here, and cherish the lifelong connections you have made on campus this evening. We'll see you all Monday for First Day!

Congratulations to our chair for her work with students and on behalf of our department.

Today we wrapped up our African American Studies Teachers Summer Institute. African & African American Studies in collaboration with Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity & Equity, WUSTL held hands-on workshops and field trips for high school teachers.

Excited to host this event.

AFAS is beyond thrilled to welcome Dr. Dwight McBride to our faculty, Washington University, and the St. Louis region! source.wustl.edu/?p=659116&prev…
