Black Graduate Student Association

The BGSA supports Black graduate students in their academic pursuits and social acclimation to the various environments on the University of Memphis campus. The BGSA is also committed to the pursuit of national and local social awareness that amplifies the voices and experiences of Black students on Memphis’ campus. We provide a safe space for the exchange of intellectual ideas and social issues that impact Black communities, on and off Memphis’ campus. Our programs and partnerships facilitate cultural understanding and an appreciation for equity, diversity, and inclusion among members and friends of the BGSA.
