Working towards a future of diversity, equity and inclusion in education.
The National Black Student Alliance serves to provide Black students and allies a community, brave space, and the opportunity to create change. Our core team is made up of students from across the country, as well as an adult advisory board.
Our mission is to work towards a future of diversity, equity and inclusion in education.
For Black students and allies, by Black students.

I wanted to be a part of NBSA because I never want any of my Black peers to feel unwelcome or marginalized in any educational space.
