Do you think Africa is all safaris and rural villages? Think again! At Five College Africa Day, we want to show you that THIS is what Africa looks like!

Five College Africa Day 2009 is a forum in which students, faculty and the greater community can bring you "Inside Africa"--hear about each others' research, debate important issues, learn more about Five College student groups and study abroad opportunities, witness musical and dance performances, and eat great African food!

Leave Africa Day with your hands and minds full of information on contemporary issues as well as course offerings and opportunities for study abroad.
