The Taft College Black Student Union (BSU) is a student-led organization dedicated to fostering a supportive, inclusive, and culturally enriching environment for Black student and allies.  Open to all students, the BSU promotes academic success, leadership, development, and cultural awareness through community-building activities, educational programs, and collaborative campus events.

The BSU provides guidance and support for students pursuing transfer opportunities, with a special focus on connecting students to resources, networks, and pathways that lead to four-year universities including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Members gain access to peer mentoring, transfer planning support, and opportunities to engage with representatives from partner institutions.

By cultivating a strong sense of belonging and empowering students through cultural celebration, and leadership opportunities, the BSU helps students build lifelong skills and prepare for continued success in their educational and professional journeys.
