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.
