Mission and Goals

MISSION

Phelps Stokes partners with select colleges and universities to establish Ralph Bunche Societies -- undergraduate student associations, open to all, but designed specifically for underrepresented minority students. Ralph Bunche Societies encourage students to value global affairs and apply their learning on a global scale, regardless of their field of study. Each Ralph Bunche Society tailors its mission to draw upon the unique strengths of each institution and to reflect the needs of its members.

• address the need for greater minority involvement in the international arena;
• prepare minority students to become full and active leaders in the global community; and
• expand academic and career opportunities for students.
