The Creation of BSAG
The Black Student Action Group (BSAG) was developed to create actionable steps in response to the needs presented by Black student leaders at UNCW during Summer 2020. As a result, BSAG examined all divisional practices to ensure an enhanced college experience for Black-identifying students at UNCW through their experiences within Student Affairs. In addition, BSAG served as a response to educate, train, and develop the professional and student staff within the Division of Student Affairs on the cultural perspectives and needs of Black-identifying individuals.
Mission Statement 2020 - 2021
"BSAG strives to enhance the Black student experience by establishing strong foundational support within the Division of Student Affairs at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW). Through the establishment of inclusive recruitment practices and on-going, intensive training and professional development, the group works to prioritize elevating Black cultural competencies within all departments of Student Affairs and within every student experience supported by the division."
