Black Student Union

  • One of the school’s affinity groups
  • An affinity group may be something that you can gravitate towards that is connected to identity
  • Provides a place for black students to convene and relate over similar lived experiences, in Haverford and outside
  • A unique environment where black students feel comfortable to say what’s on their mind 
    • In Haverford’s predominantly white environment, black students can feel silenced or erased
  • Sponsors and organizes events
    • Poetry and Spoken Word nights give a creative outlet to express oneself
