1. Black Student League General Meeting January 18, 2010

2. What is BSL? Our mission is to promote a more fluid transition into college life, of increasing participations in campus and community activities, of increasing awareness of the accomplishments and contributions of the minority community, and of coordinating between student concern and the administration.
