The Black Graduate Student Association embraces the vision to bridge the gaps among the various graduate programs and to instill a sense of community and support within the Black community.  The mission of the BGSA is to promote and encourage professional competence, support mentorship among graduate and professional students for the benefit of the Black undergraduate community and the community “at-large,” sponsor Community Service projects, assist in the recruitment and matriculation of Black students to the various graduate and professional school programs, act as a referral service for Black graduate and professional students and provide moral support by encouraging social interaction among Black graduate and professional students. As evidenced by the various programs and specializations represented, the BGSA possesses a wealth of both individual and collective talent and potential.  Therefore, we encourage all that are interested in joining the association to be devoted to our vision, mission, and dreams of making the BGSA an integral part of The College of William and Mary’s graduate and undergraduate community.
