the mission
The mission of the BSA is to support and advocate on behalf of black students in order to enhance Duke academically, socially, and culturally.
Purpose
The Black Student
Alliance serves the purpose of representing the interests of the
Black Undergraduate students of Duke University. We are primarily
an organization geared toward communicating the particular administration
and student population at large by programming information relevant
to the black experience. We work amongst ourselves and with various
other organizations to develop programs in the interest of black
students. We aim to enrich student life at the university culturally,
intellectually, and socially; to ensure full ongoing administration
commitment of fair, equitable policies; and to strengthen and support
the bonds of community between black Duke students and the larger
Duke and Durham communities.
The Black Student Alliance also serves as an umbrella group for its
affiliates, Dance Black, Karamu, and United in Praise.
