Black Student Union

Type: Social

The Black Student Union is a group where people get together of all ethnicities and learn about the rich ethnic heritage of African, African American and Caribbean culture and to expose the many contributions of the black men and women of the Diaspora. Our goal is to present these many tributes to the Gettysburg College community. We are a unified group which seeks to promote leadership, service, and academic success.

Everyone is welcome to join BSU regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation.

Below is a picture of the sankofa bird. The meaning of the sankofa bird is that "it is not taboo to go back and fetch what you forgot". "Sankofa" teaches us that we must go back to our roots in order to move forward, in which a lot of our tradition and culture of the BSU is built on.
