Welcome to Makuu!

Makuu, short for Makao Makuu, means "home" or "headquarters" in Kiswahili, an African language used in some East African countries. Makuu seeks to provide a cultural laboratory for Penn students and their allies to invent, organize, and collaborate with one another. Makuu also provides a space for the University community to learn about the African Diaspora and engage in diverse interactions. The Center houses a wide range of resources for students and organizations and provides limited financial support for student events and programs. A defining element of Makuu is collaboration. Whether it is between organizations, offices and/or people, we endeavor to build programs and an environment emphasizing and supporting collaboration and consensus. We invite you to the ARCH for meetings, discussions, brainstorming sessions, or just to gather. If you have any questions or ideas, feel free to stop by, call or email us.
