About Us

As a student-run organization, the Black Student Union at New York Techis responsible for advocating for the students at NYT, taking political stands, and creating the sense of community necessary to unite students to work for positive change. On-campus, we strive to meet the needs of the Black community by holding events that are pertinent to the lives of Black students on campus and that create a supportive community for all Black students at New York Tech. The Black Student Union at New York Tech strives to create a safe and active community in order to adequately represent and respond to the Black community. This sense of community must come from both current social activities and from a sense of shared history and culture. Our strength comes from not only the collective struggle of our contemporaries but also the cumulative struggles of thousands who have sacrificed before us. Let us strive in our efforts so that we may fulfill the dreams of those who struggled before and brighten the futures of those yet to come.
