The fundamental purpose of this association shall be to provide a social and intellectual forum for the celebration of Caribbean life and culture, deepen awareness of the relevant historical, socio-economic, and geopolitical issues facing the Caribbean and promote the individual and collective development of all members. All members of the Ball State Community are eligible for membership. Students studying Caribbean Literature, Caribbean Cuisine, Caribbean Geography, Culture and Anthropology will find some of our activities helpful in their academic pursuits. The Caribbean is home to persons of African, Indian, Chinese and European origins. Persons interested in the Indian and Chinese Diaspora in the Caribbean, colonization and emerging nation states will benefit immensely from conversations that deal with such issues. Many of our meetings will conclude with breaking bread or some Caribbean culinary delight. For more information, contact Gina Edghill at
