Promoting Education, Experience and Increasing Social empowerment at UofT since 1999
A legacy in promoting community among Black, African-Canadian, Afro-Caribbean and all self-identifying Black students in between at the University of Toronto.
Protecting the Black student population through advocacy and racial equity determinations.
The Black Students’ Association (BSA) is a collective of dedicated University of Toronto students. It is our mission to promote community interaction among Black, African-Canadian, Afro-Caribbean and all self-identifying Black students in between at the University of Toronto.
The BSA has cultivated a space for Black students to connect with one another and form a solidified community. Through our ambitious and creative events program throughout the year, such as its annual Black History Month Programming and the High School Conference, the BSA gives Black students a chance to put down their invisible backpacks and celebrate our identity.
Beyond creative events, the BSA has engaged in indispensable advocacy and advancement of social justice measures to make the campus a more equitable space for Black students.
The BSA remains dedicated to the education, experience and empowerment of the Black-Canadian and international community, aiming to represent and foster black culture through community interaction and outreach.
Our Work
Through the numerous events hosted throughout the years, the BSA has always aimed to connect black students on campus and beyond. The BSA exec team is always working on introducing new initiatives and opportunities which will be beneficial to our community. Annual events such as the High School Conference, as well as collaborative events such as the Financial Literacy Workshops are among many events which have helped black students in various ways.
