The African American Cultural Center was the housing place, of a program titled, Beyond Borderlines, co-sponsored by the Society of Afrikan American Culture (SAAC) and Mi Familia. Mi Familia is a club on campus whose main purpose is “to provide a social, cultural, and political forum for the students of North Carolina State University and the surrounding community interested in experiencing and promoting the richness of the international Latino and Hispanic community and culture.” The Society of Afrikan American Culture serves as the political voice of the Black student body. Through political awareness, cultural affairs, and community service, SAAC aims to maintain the black identity and presence on campus.

The Minority Association of Premedical Students (MAPS), Mi Familia, and Lambda Pi Chi Sorority Inc. provided an opportunity for students to learn about ways to prevent HIV for National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD) last Wednesday in Witherspoon Student Center. The event offered on-site HIV testing as well as a wealth of educational information about HIV transmission, prevention and testing.
