Description
Black Student Union (BSU) provides answers and consolation to questions and concerns for all students. We aim to foster a welcoming and supportive environment where students of color can freely share their opinions, ideas, and cultural heritage. We seek to enhance understanding and appreciation of the histories, cultures, and issues pertinent to students of color through educational events, cultural celebrations, and open, engaging dialogues. We are committed to advocating for and addressing issues that impact these students, striving to create a community that is inclusive and aware of diverse perspectives. Black Student Union wants to build a network between students of color on campus and the community around them by partnering with different BIPOC organizations for movie nights, youth Fridays, and more.

By providing its members with access to technology, and conducting professional development workshops with keynote guest speakers, there is an elimination of any barriers that may be held within the industry. W.I.G. at Champlain College works with two organizations, Women in Games International (W.I.G.I.) as well as the Women In Games (W.I.G.) based out of the UK. Join W.I.G. to meet and collaborate with different students in an inclusive environment, as that is when the best ideas come together!
