RSO - Black Student Union

This is the NEW revamped, revised, transformed, newly invigorated and energized Black Student Union (BSU). We are committed to serving, representing, and advocating on behalf of students of color and addressing issues that affect the community we live in. Now more than ever there is a need for active participants to stand up and be a voice for change. In hopes of building a stronger network we hope that the group will grow and become a leading organization in collaboration with other RSOs.

The BSU was established in September of 1987 on the campus of UMass Amherst. Since its establishment, the organization has represented all of the cultures included in the African Diaspora. We are dedicated to creating an organization and forum that exhibits the beauty, creativity, and struggle that these diverse groups have to share with all of the UMass community. The organization is open to suggestions and invites interested students to participate.
