Black Student Union

The purpose of the Urbana University Black Student Union (BSU) is to educate the University’s community to the contributions of African Americans; to assist, guide, and orient incoming African American students; to provide continual guidance for members of the Union; to improve relationships between all other students; to provide a social and cultural outlet for its members; to participate in the cultural, social, and athletic activities of Urbana University. Furthermore, it seeks to provide enriching experiences and assure continuing development of a progressive environment which is conducive to African American students in their quest to obtain a quality and meaningful education.
