Ankh Maat Wedjau Honor Society

Ankh Maat Wedjau Honor Society is a non-secret, non-profit organization whose purpose is the promotion of scholarly study, research, publication and other scholarly activity in the field of Africana Studies among students at academic institutions, and among academic professionals in the field of Africana studies. As a student who is majoring in Black Studies, I came to the realization that there wasnt an honor society to acknowledge the academic excellence and achievements of students who major and minor within the department here at SUNY New Paltz. All students deserve to be celebrated for their academic achievements so, I met with the Black Studies department and Student Activities and established the Ankh Maat Wedjau Honor Society.

The Contemplative Space Committee

The Contemplative Space Committee was a committee which consisted of students, professors, faculty members and impressively the President of SUNY New Paltz, Donald P. Christian. After the College Council voted to change the names of the buildings from what was formally known as the the Hasbrouck complex quad, some folks thought it wasn't enough to change the names, but to also acknowledge the lives of those who where enslaved as well as the history of the Huguenot slave owners/patentees. We met with President Christian and as a committee we decided to divide the committee into two sub-committees ;"content" and "audience connection." The "audience connection" worked on potential site locations, design of the structure, and the desired experience of visitors. The "content" focused on different ways of delivering the history of that content. In conclusion, we came up with a proposal that acknowledged the history of those who were enslaved and the Huguenot slave-holding patentees in both a tangible and non-tangible manner. The proposal listed potential physical places to create a memorial as well as the idea of creating an archive from all the research we did as a committee. The proposal was submitted to the office of President Christian on April 22, 2019.
