CEIS Afrofuturism Initiative

Imagine a space where students from all backgrounds—business, engineering, humanities, science, and more—come together to dream, create, and innovate. The Afrofuturism Initiative is that space—a bold, interdisciplinary movement where students push the boundaries of education through mentorship, dialogue, and hands-on experimentation. Rooted in resilience, empowerment, and innovation, these student scholars aren’t just imagining the future—they’re actively building it. From groundbreaking research to creative projects that challenge the status quo, they are shaping a world where diverse voices and bold ideas thrive.

Your support fuels this momentum. A gift to the CEIS Afrofuturism Initiative directly funds student scholar awards and provides essential resources that bring their visionary projects to life. By giving today, you empower the next generation of changemakers, ensuring they have the tools, mentorship, and community to transform their ideas into reality. Join us in fostering creativity, belonging, and purpose—because the future needs these voices, and together, we can help them be heard.
