African Graduate Students Connect (AGSC) exists to provide a unique social, professional and academic network to promote sociocultural enrichment, academic success, and Africa-related volunteering opportunities for graduate students of African descent or of the African Diaspora. We achieve this by hosting periodic events or activities for African graduate students, with the intention of: fostering increased camaraderie and "a spirit of community" away from home; providing motivational, mentoring and morale support in times of need; facilitating the dissemination or sharing of pertinent and valuable academic, institutional and career/employment information; leveraging Georgia Tech (GT) African alumni to create professional networking opportunities; and, partnering collaboratively with other campus or external organizations to engage in STEM-related volunteering initiatives in Africa.

The Nature and Wellness Walk is aimed at improving the mental and physical health of community members, and facilitating the immersion of African students into American culture and society. Snacks will be provided.
