Chinua Achebe Center for African Writers and Artists The Achebe Center was established in 2005 to use the legacy of Chinua Achebe, Charles P. Stevenson Jr. Professor Emeritus of Languages and Literature, to serve the future of global Africana arts. Among its goals are to become a center of excellence for the teaching of African literature; to support a new generation of African writers; and to encourage literary/cultural entrepreneurship. Undergraduate students at Bard may participate in numerous Center projects, including facilitating events featuring visiting writers, artists, and scholars; helping with all aspects of book and chapbook editing and publication; and working with writer/artist residency projects and a new creative writing program.
