"The work the BSU has done to establish a scholarship, exemplifies their leadership and voice and in bringing change and opportunity and the legacy this will leave is an important aspect in the bigger picture."

Seattle University’s Black Student Union Secures Endowed Scholarship - The Seattle Medium In a school where Blacks make up approximately five percent of the student body, Bruce discovered two factors that hindered the work of enticing young Black scholars to attend Seattle University -- one was affordability and other was the lack of faces that look like theirs.

Hi alumni,

Our student leaders with Seattle U's National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) are looking for alumni to be on a panel for their upcoming workshop/networking night on October 27. Are there any mechanical, software, and/or electrical engineers that would be interested in being on the panel?

Here are the workshop details -
Tuesday, October 27 at 6:00-7:30 pm via Zoom
Topic: Navigating Professionalism
Their current agenda starts with a 30-minute panel. Then each alumni panelist will be placed in a breakout room with a small group of students for continued conversations and networking. Students will rotate through the breakout rooms.

If you are interested and available to be on the panel on 10/27, please comment below or email [email protected] - then we'll get you in touch with our NSBE student leaders.

Thank you in advance!

BSU President Shares Her SU Experience

In the wake of Black Lives Matter protests and the recent murder of Black people, members of the Black Student Union (BSU) found it vital to meet, heal and collaborate to make changes on our campus.

They expressed their struggles of being Black at a predominantly white institution and their grief over the violence caused by systemic racism. Read a letter written to alumni from Adilia Watson, ’21, president of the Black Student Union.
