Black Student Union @ PLU

Events

Looking for some fun!?

One of the goals for this club is to host events that educate and entertain the PLU community. Look for BSU involvement and club collaborations throughout campus! If you ever have any event ideas you would like to see the Black Student Union host, please feel free to let us know!

Larger events we participate in.

mlkThis year we were simply trying to get the club up and running, so the main focus has been recruitment. In the future, we will be taking on larger roles in planning campus wide, Black History Month celebrations in February. We will also have small events for Women's History Month in March. We have several events and workshops during Diversity Week (April 16-20). We also participate in the annual Students of Color Retreat during fall semester.

A great Black American:


Edward Alexander Bouchet


Ed B


physicist, chemist

Born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1852, Bouchet was the first African American to graduate (1874) from Yale College. In 1876, upon receiving his Ph.D. in physics from Yale, he became the first African American to earn a doctorate. Bouchet spent his career teaching college chemistry and physics.
