Welcome!

What began in 1977 as a handful of students aiming to unite Harvard’s black community, the Harvard Black Students Association has blossomed into one of the College’s largest and most dynamic student organizations. Through public service, political activism, community building, and academic support, the BSA provides opportunities to enrich the college experience of black students and Harvard students in general.

Our mission is three-fold:
• To promote community interaction among African, African-American, and African-Caribbean students at Harvard University, as well as facilitate dialogue between our community and the broader Harvard community.
• To galvanize communication between the Harvard, Cambridge, and Boston communities.
• To provide a forum for the open expression of the political, social, and cultural views of black students.

With an undergraduate membership of nearly 300 students and the support of over 3,000 alumni, the BSA strives to play an integral role in
Harvard’s rich spectrum of diversity while offering invaluable resources to black students. On behalf of our membership, it is my pleasure to welcome you as a visitor and invite you to participate in a wide range of events
that keep us active on campus and in the community. From our William Monroe Trotters Scholars Program in Mattapan, to our annual Renaissance Ball, I’m confident you’ll discover something that intrigues you.

Best,
Spencer Hardwick
