Brief Program HistoryThe Pan-African Studies Community Education Program (PASCEP) is a unique and multi-faceted program founded in 1975 by the late Annie D. Hyman, a Temple University graduate andNorth Philadelphia community activist, who sought to bring the university to the community.

Prior to coming to Temple in 1979, the Community Education Program was held in neighborhoodschools, churches and centers. University faculty, most of whom were from the Pan-AfricanStudies Department of the College of Arts and Sciences of Temple University, volunteered time toteach classes. Ms. Hyman later obtained the support of Dr. Odeyo Ayaga, who was then the Pan-African Studies Department chair, to seek Temple Universitys sponsorship of the program. In the

fall of l979, the university incorporated the Program and PASCEP became the communityoutreach component of the Temple University Pan-African Studies Department, subsequently re-named the African American Studies Department.

Faculty of Pan-African Studies and other departments continued to volunteer time to teach coursesfor PASCEP: Dr. Rita Smith, Dr. Tran Van Dinh, Professor Sonia Sanchez, Professor JacquelineMungai, Dr. Barbara Hampton, of Pan-African Studies; Dr. Audrey Pittman and Dr. ThaddeusMathis, of the School of Social Administration; and Dr. Wilbert Roget, of the Department ofFrench and Italian, among others, including Afro musicologist, Harrison Ridley, Jr. of WRTI-FM.Pan-African Studies Department undergraduate students also served as tutors and literacyinstructors.

Since 1975 PASCEP has offered over 385 listed courses, 275 lectures and seminars and over 85workshops. PASCEP has given a voice to many volunteer faculty members who come frommyriad professions and all walks of life. None of this could have been done without the supportand direction of the previous administrators: Jacqueline Mungai and Maisha Sullivan-Ongoza,who served as Program Coordinators; and Muriel Feelings, who served as the first ProgramDirector of PASCEP. Today, all of PASCEPs courses continue to be taught by volunteerprofessionals from the community whose purpose is to educate the community at large and giveback to others what they have received in knowledge, skill, inspiration and example.
