Club 411: Black Student Union
Michaia Hernandez / Roundup
The club aims to promote academic excellence, prepare innovators and leaders, empower students to find their voice and expand cultural awareness through practicing inclusiveness, not exclusiveness.
It’s open to everybody interested. They meet weekly on Tuesdays at 2:30 p.m. in Behavioral Sciences 1300.
Next in store for the club, will be the partnering with the Sociology Club, as well as some members of the GayStraight Alliance, for a protest next week.
The protest will focus on the budget cuts plaguing California community colleges, as well as other educational institutions.
The event will deviate from the usual practices associated with protesting in that participants will be letting their voices be heard through "creative" means.
The protest will take place Wednesday, May 11, from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Mall.
They plan on personally delivering the “card” to Sacramento.
T-shirts customized by members of the club are available for purchase.
Each shirt costs $10. They can be purchased through either direct contact with Professor James McKeever, the faulty adviser for the club, or attendance of the club meetings or requests to the club’s Facebook page.
Also, on Thursday, May 12 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. in the Great Hall, the BSU will be holding an open stage event.
The event is open to everybody, and it will feature a handful of performances by club members themselves. Refreshments will be sold throughout the event.
