BGSA Inaguaral Townhall
BGSA Inaguaral Townhall
To gauge what the overall Black graduate community wanted to see BGSA accomplish over the years, we held a town hall as our first event on March 30, 2023. Here, we invited multiple organization leaders (such as SCOR, Black Radical Healing Pathways, etc) and students from various backgrounds across campus to understand what they would want BGSA to accomplish over the years and how they would like to participate in them.
