Purdue BSU

The primary purpose is to serve as the political voice for the black student population, increase student involvement in social, academic, and political activities, promote unity among African American student organizations, and to facilitate communication between the black student population and the Purdue University administration.

BSU had the privilege to collaborate with SOUP to pack lunches for the homeless shelter! We gathered ingredients to make peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, canned goodies, fruit cups, chips and more to give to those in need. Thank you to all who joined us during this event!

Hi all, as the holidays are approaching, BSU is excited to announce its next GBM! So get comfy in your PJs and enjoy a movie night with hot cocoa, cookies, and learn about our plans for next semester. Spring semester will be filled with plenty of opportunities to participate in our events, such as the BSU Fashion Show! If you’re interested, please join us so you can get more information on being in the fashion show. Hope to see you all there! :)

Thank you everyone for attending our town hall last week, and thank you for the collaborators and @khalaniskitchen for making it happen! BSU is happy to have provided a space for the student body to have an open discussion and great food. Thank you @bbe_purdue for this video! #purduebsu #townhall #community

Join us in recognizing this month’s historic figure, Shirley Chisholm, and for our study tables this Wednesday! It will be from 5 PM to 7 PM in SMTH Room 201! Snacks provided!

Come out to our next Town Hall this Friday where we will be reflecting the recent election! In collaboration with these organizations, we want to give the Purdue student body a space to discuss our community and country moving forward. Free @khalaniskitchen for those who attend!

Today, SOUP and BSU came together to host a meaningful community service event where we packed lunches for Lafayette Urban Ministry. Together, we prepared 107 lunches for neighbors in need! Lafayette Urban Ministry is dedicated to restoring human dignity and providing hope, respect, and a brighter future for all. They are proud to support their mission and contribute to their work in making a difference in our community. Thank you to everyone who joined us in this effort! Let’s keep coming together, lending a hand, and showing that giving back isn’t just an act—it’s a commitment to uplift those around us.

Join us in welcoming BSU’s very own Freshman Action Team, FACT! Within FACT, members collaborate on projects that enhance the campus experience for their fellow freshmen. BSU designed FACT to give first-year students hands on experience in student leadership and organization management. They also serve as a source and outreach tool for other freshmen to enhance first year students experiences coming to college. Freshman candidates run for positions mirroring roles on the executive board. This provides them with opportunities to shadow upperclassmen and gain practical insight into running a student organization. These individuals are the masterminds behind the BSU Lock-In earlier this semester and have been a big part in helping our organization promote events and amplify the impact we hope to have in the black community here at Purdue. We are so lucky and honored to have a team like FACT!

❗️Volunteering opportunity❗️ Come join the BSU and SOUP for our community service event. Help us pack lunches for the shelter! Sign up via the QR code on the flyer. We look forward to seeing y’all there!

A huge thank you to our co-hosts, partners, and everyone who attended.
