The Nyansapo Kente Robing Ceremony was started in the summer of 2016 to promote retention amongst undergraduate and graduate students of color and celebrate their accomplishments. The Kente robing ceremony provides the BSFA community an opportunity to highlight and celebrate the significance of graduating from The University of Alabama. 

Nyansapo is a Ghanaian symbol that means intelligence, ingenuity, and patience.
