Black Graduate Students Association

Stanford University

BGSA

The Black Graduate Students Assocation (BGSA) at Stanford University is dedicated to fostering community, social events, and scholarship among graduate students of color at Stanford.

Our organization supports the continued academic excellence of Black graduate students at Stanford through a variety of events, such as the Ph.D. Forum, Academic/Professional Workshops, Journeys (Graduate Women's group) and Visible Men (Graduate Men's group). We also plan joint activities with the Black Business Student Association (BBSA), the Black Law Student Association (BLSA), the Student National Medical Association (SNMA), and a number of undergraduate organizations. BGSA extends our community outside of Stanford by engaging in a number of bay area community and social events.
