Mission
The mission of this club is to raise awareness about public health issues and their impact on everyday life, with a special focus on African and African-descendant communities. As students, we aim to educate our peers and the surrounding communities about public health and help individuals better understand how to take control of their health and well-being.
With public health recently established as a major at the University of Minnesota, this club also seeks to increase awareness and understanding of the field among undergraduate students. We aim to introduce more students to what public health is, why it matters, and the academic and career opportunities it offers.
The club is dedicated to creating inclusive, educational spaces through discussions, workshops, and community engagement. Our focus areas include mental health awareness, drug and substance use education, nutrition and food security, disease prevention, and access to health resources. While our activities center on issues affecting African communities, the club is open and inclusive to all students and populations. The club also supports undergraduate students interested in public health by providing networking opportunities, peer mentorship, leadership development, and exposure to public health careers, research, and graduate pathways. Through education, service, and collaboration, the club aims to empower students and communities to become more informed, proactive, and engaged in public health.

Membership Benefits
Membership in the club gives undergraduate students the opportunity to explore public health and learn how it impacts African communities and the broader population, especially as public health has recently become a major at the University of Minnesota. Members can gain exposure to different public health topics, discover academic and career pathways, and engage in conversations with peers, faculty, and guest speakers in a welcoming, student-centered environment.
As a new club, members are encouraged to explore leadership, service, and community engagement at their own pace. Participation allows students to build skills in communication, teamwork, and advocacy while getting involved in service initiatives such as health awareness events and discussions on mental health, substance use, food security, and homelessness. Members also benefit from being part of a supportive community, gaining volunteer experience, and building their résumés through meaningful involvement and making a difference in their communities.

Agni is an Indian Classical Dance Team specializing in the south Indian dance style, Bharatanatyam. We perform at on campus and off campus events and are transitioning into the national competitive circuit as well. Our practices and performances are currently fully in person and twice a week. Auditions are held in the Fall and over the Summer. Information on joining can be obtained through our social media (@agni_minnesota on Instagram) or via email (agni@umn.edu).

Our mission: Agni Indian Classical Dance Team aims to provide an environment for individuals to embrace and immerse themselves in Indian culture and dance. Bharatanatyam is a popular dance form in the states, but many students lose touch with the art when they move to university. We strive to motivate individuals to get involved with their communities through dance and promote diversity through sharing our culture and art.

What do we do? Agni is a primarily Bharatanatyam-focused dance team, hence the name Agni, as Bharatanatyam represents the element of fire. We perform at on campus and off campus events and are looking into competitions as well. Our practices and performances are currently fully in person and twice a week for one hour each.

How can I get involved? At the beginning of each semester we hold a no-commitment workshop, where you'll learn a short piece (30sec-1min) that you can later choose to audition with. Results are announced within a week.

Leadership: As an Agni officer (President, Secretary, Marketing Director, or Finance Director), you learn organizational and management skills when reaching out to organizations for performances, coordinating practices, or advertising and promoting the group. In terms of dance, officers use choreography as a creative outlet and gain valuable teaching skills.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: We are more than just a dance team, we provide a means to connect to our historical and cultural roots. Our main dance form is Bharatanatyam, a classical dance originating in Tamil Nadu, India over 3000 years ago. Modernized in the late 1900's it's an integral part of Indian culture and familiar throughout South Asia.

Recreation and Health: Being a part of Agni is a great way for you to express your passion for dance while maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. We motivate each other to step out of our comfort zones and become better dancers. Not only do we promote physical health, but also mental health, as we're a family where you can take a break from the stress of school and life in general!

About Us

Alpha Chi Sigma is a co-ed professional chemistry fraternity that seeks to unite students with a love of chemistry and of the sciences in general. We also strive to teach others about the wonders of the chemical sciences through outreach activities in the community.

What Do We Do?

*Community Outreach*
We participate in a variety of outreach events across the Twin Cities where we conduct chemical demonstrations for children, families, or more general audiences. Alpha Chi Sigma also organizes an annual Scouts BSA merit badge day where our members teach chemistry and engineering-related merit badges.

*Professional Development*
Professional events help connect members of the chapter with alumni of the fraternity who work in industry or academia, as well as UMN faculty. We work to connect each other with unique research and internship opportunities and help our members form a network of friends and colleagues in the field of chemistry.

Our fraternity cares deeply about the welfare of its members and seeks to create a friendly and positive environment in every way possible. Members of Alpha Chi Sigma are heavily encouraged to support each other academically, mentally, and emotionally. Weekly study hours present an opportunity for members to collaborate or work individually on schoolwork, and we remind our members to focus on their academics and mental health first.

Membership

You do not need to be a chemistry major to join Alpha Chi Sigma -- we only request that you have an interest in the chemical sciences! Contact axe@umn.edu for more information on how to join or get involved.
