The Center for African Studies (CAS) is hosting its inaugural Celebrate Africa Festival from Friday, September 16 to Saturday, September 17, 2022 and you are invited to attend!

On Friday, join scholars and leaders from the African continent and Pitt faculty for a seminar, round table, alumni webinar, documentary screening, reception, and keynote address by renowned pan-African historian Dr. Paul Tiyambe Zeleza.

On Saturday join us for the festival that will bring students, faculty, and staff together with the vibrant diaspora community of Pittsburgh. We’ll gather outside the Posvar Patio to celebrate the many cultures of Africa through music & dance, food, and artisans and children's activities. It will also be a day for networking with African organizations and businesses.
