AMENAAA is an intentional multi-racial, multi-faith, multi-ethnic, multilingual, and gender diverse working group of campus community members at Bronx Community College, who recognize and celebrate our institution’s long, rich history of diversity and inclusion and our incredible student body.

One of our many goals is to honor a BCC graduating student with ties to the Middle Eastern and/ or North African and/ or Asian American community and/or interest in Middle Eastern North African Asian (American) culture and heritage through the BCC AMENAAA Student Award, in collaboration with BCC Advancement.

Our long name is BCC Association of Middle Eastern North African Asian American Faculty & Staff. Or, AMENAAA. While we represent a demographic minority in terms of faculty, staff, and students on our campus, we celebrate our global diversity, histories and heritage. In short, members of Bronx Community College’s AMENAAA Faculty and Staff are quintessential New Yorkers, and we look forward to continuing the tradition of creating community through diversity across campus.
