Black Students Board

The Black Students Board was one of NC State University's first African American organizations after the African American Student Advisory Council (AASAC). The Board exists to foster a sense of unity among students of the African Diaspora. It is our belief that “the pursuit of culture is not readily attained. It must be cultivated with determination, strength, creativity, and unity.”

Our mission is to instill a sense of unity and excitement within students, and to provide a social outlet by hosting political, spiritual, and cultural programs and activities.

Our signature events are the annual Pan Afrikan Festival, Back to School Jam, Expressions, and community service.

Our goals include maintaining a steady membership, engaging students in educational and community service-oriented programs, and co-sponsoring more programs with a wider range of student organizations.

Meetings will be held every other Thursday from 7–8 p.m. in the Student Senate Chambers, 2nd floor of Witherspoon Student Center, beginning August 27, 2009.
