African American History & Culture House (AAHCH)

Affectionately known by students as “The Culture House”, it serves as a physical space for UMKC to enhance and enrich the general understanding of and participation in African-American intellectual culture.

• Provides the UMKC community with cultural and intellectual activities and events that are unique to the African-American experience
• Provides a supportive environment for educational, social and leisure time activities that foster the personal and intellectual growth of UMKC’s African-American students, staff and faculty
• Develops linkages with academic and non-academic units of the University
• Serves as an indirect support resource for the recruitment and retention of African-American undergraduate students

Common uses for the Culture House:
