Mission
The Black Student Alliance of Florida Gulf Coast University was created to unify the students of color, while contributing to the awareness of their existence on campus.
The purpose of this culturally influenced organization is to obliterate the puerile stereotypes branded upon young individuals of African Descent. We strive to provide a family orientied space that ecnourages all students to excel acdemically, as well as personallly, while exposing the University to wonderful aspects of the African Culture.
