Nyansapo

Picture

Purpose

Meaning

 The Nyansapo Kente robing ceremony was started in the summer of 2016 as an initiative to promote retention amongst undergraduate and graduate students of color, and to celebrate their accomplishments. The Kente robing ceremony provides the BSFA community an opportunity to highlight the significance of graduating from The University of Alabama. 
​Nyansapo is a Ghanaian symbol that means intelligence, ingenuity, and patience
