About Us

Black Graduate Student Association (BGSA) at Arizona State University (ASU) dedicates itself in nurturing the unique experiences of Black graduate students through scholarship, providing development opportunities, spreading activism, participating in mentorship, and collaborating with community-based activities. BGSA aims to build the coalition of Black graduates on all four ASU campuses by increasing/advocating their presence; this is at the very heart of our vocation. BGSA provides safe and radical spaces where all scholars of color can create community at ASU and beyond.

What We Will Do with the Funds

We are revitalizing our organization hoping to continue to provide professional and academic accessibility to scholars of color on ASU Tempe campus. We have ongoing events planned throughout the academic year including professional workshops, student research showcases, and public forums to discuss topics of interest. Our spring semester includes Black Film Series, Black Queer Lives Panel Discussion, and a Research Colloquium. We believe that these events will attract student interest and allow BGSA to provide students with resources and a sense of community. Though we have had some successful events, we cannot continue to solely rely on other organizations for financial assistance. We invite you to support us in continuing our efforts to serve students of color at ASU.
