Black Graduate Student Association at UAB

Welcome to the Black Graduate Student Association at The University of Alabama at Birmingham official page!! Go Blazers!!

The BGSA at UAB was founded in 1993. As a student organization we are dedicated to the pursuit of academic excellence. We seek to increase social and political awarness among African Americans and other minorities in communities surrounding UAB. We sponsor forums, social events, activism opportunities and the annual Minority Achievement Conference. Please join us at our next general body meeting!

Black History Month is in full effect, and we’ve got some exciting events planned just for you, starting with bowling… with a twist!
Join BGSA for an ICONIC Black History–themed bowling night. Come dressed as your favorite Black icon, era, or pop culture moment. Think legendary, unforgettable, and creative.
Your favorite meme from a Black influencer? A basketball great? Favorite civil rights activist? A music legend (maybe someone from a famous family of five brothers with the last name Jackson)? The possibilities are endless.
Come out for fun, laughter, and a guaranteed good time with your fellow BGSA members.
Want to bring a guest from outside UAB? No problem. They’re welcome to attend for a small $4 fee if they RSVP by the deadline.
Spots are limited, so don’t wait — secure yours and show up ICONIC!
