Johns Hopkins Black Graduate Student Association (JH BGSA)
The Johns Hopkins Black Graduate Student Association (JHU BGSA) strives to enhance graduate student life for URM students, specifically Black graduates, to ensure retention and academic success during their tenure at Hopkins. Additionally, the BGSA is dedicated to elevating Black student voices across the African Diaspora at Hopkins and in the Baltimore community.
The BGSA seeks to promote a professional, scholarly, and social network for Black graduate students while fostering a sense of belonging by keeping the Hopkins community aware and receptive of their interests and concerns.
Most notably, the decentralized aspect of Hopkins provides multiple opportunities for the BGSA and other black affinity groups throughout the Hopkins divisions to meet and exchange ideas, strengthen intercampus liaisons, and collaborate on social events for the betterment of Black graduate students.
