The African Cultural Renaissance Movement was today recognized as the most unique club at the University of Technology, Jamaica Week of Welcome Clubs and Societies Day. Our booth included unique artefacts such as, wood carvings, a traditional mortar and pestle, as well as the attention grabbing African Woman wooden structure standing at 6ft tall. On display were also ACRM’s multiple awards, historical books, and images from our past activities.

We attracted much interest as new students were in awe of the fact that an organization existed on campus that promotes African Cultural Heritage. They were eager to learn the different activities that we have planned for the upcoming year, and in what ways they could actively participate. ACRM’s booth also garnered interest from some eminent figures, with former Member of Parliament Damian Crawford, as well as Opposition spokesperson on National Security Peter Bunting engaging with members to learn more about the club.

The ACRM will celebrate its 45^th Anniversary of its founding this year, and are proud of this recognition. Formed in 1971, the ACRM is the longest serving organization on UTech, Ja campus and continues to actively promote the study of the African Cultural Heritage and Academic Excellence through its activities as well as the ACRM Evening Institute. We look forward to interacting further with our new students, and encourage you to participate in the activities of clubs and societies on campus as this will serve to enrich your University experience and most importantly allows you to develop into a more rounded student.
