Huntley House
An MCAE LLC for Black men on campus
About
Huntley House strives to support the academic, social, and personal endeavors of Black and African American men through community building, leadership, identity exploration, and personal growth to ensure their success during their time here at the University of Minnesota and thereafter.
The goal is to provide a supportive community where the academic experiences of students will be nurtured and enriched and to help students make friends and find their niche on campus. Participants will have the opportunity to live and study together and participate in curricular activities together. This LLC provides opportunities for students to explore their own identity as well as provide opportunities to those students who want to reach beyond their own cultural background and learn about the experiences of others.
Huntley House is named in honor of Dr. Horace Huntley, a member of the first African American and African Studies (AA&AS) graduating class in 1970, who went on to earn a Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh and become a Professor of History at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Dr. Huntley was one of the leaders in the Morrill Hall Takeover in the spring of 1969, when a small group of African American students occupied the University of Minnesota's administration building.
