Mission

Our objective as the Black Student Union is to unite all the Black, Latino, Asian, and other ethnicity families to spread diversity, maintain, and promote active communication and interaction between all students, faculty, and staff on campus. The Black Student Union is the umbrella of the following clubs including Brothers Making a Difference, Ebony Women for Social Change, Organization of Latino Unity, and Students of Caribbean Ancestry.

Each organization is to create, educate, and empower an environment that promotes the mission of the Black Student Union (through the use of a office or center when applicable), to encourage the involvement of African Diaspora in mainstream campus activities and arrangements, to support the incoming students as they integrate into the campus environment, and to keep communications with other BSU members on and off campuses and universities.
