History
Since Fall 2018, the 14 Black Student leaders assessed the issues the community was facing and dedicated themselves to finding solutions and alleviating these concerns. Consequently, the Black Student Union was established to serve as a voice for the issues and concerns of Black students through educational, political, community service, and social programs. The Black Student Union works to promote cooperation and understanding within the Black community to encourage a sense of unity amongst the various organizations important to that community.
