Founded in 1968, The George Washington University Black Student Union’s goal, above all else, is to create a Black experience where all Black students feel supported, welcomed, advocated for, and cared for. The Black Student Union achieves this through programming, both professional and social, service, public forums for discussion, and collaboration across organizations and identities.

As the organization overseeing Black life at GW, it is our duty to create a space where every Black student can be successful, feel heard, and most importantly be proud to be a Black student at GW. To ensure this, the Black Student Union monitors campus, regional, and national happenings in the event that our community is affected.
