Honoring History. Building Power. Together.

BSU by BDN exists to unite, support, and uplift Black student leaders—without limits of geography, funding, or politics.

Our Mission:

To provide every Black student with access to mentorship, leadership development, and a connected community that fosters personal and academic success.

Why This Exists:

Many campuses are under-resourced or politically restricted

Some students don’t have access to a BSU at all

Every student deserves a safe space to lead, learn, and belong

We don’t replace your campus BSU. We amplify it.

Who It’s For:

Black students at PWIs, HBCUs, and community colleges

First-year and transfer students

BSU officers, faculty sponsors, and alumni leaders

Anyone who values legacy, leadership, and cultural empowerment
