Specifically, ALANA clubs sponsor numerous social events, lectures, and off-campus trips that promote cultural awareness, community outreach, leadership, and unity among Loyola College students. Below is a list of the current ALANA organizations and their goals. The ASU serves to integrate and foster the unity of students from different African cultures. It sees itself as the support and resource group for any African student at Loyola College. It presents students with prominent issues in Africa and encourages them to partake in events/activities that occur in the African communities at Loyola College and neighboring areas. The ASU outreaches to the larger college community and strives to educate those interested in joining the club about African culture, history and experience at Loyola.
