Feel free to attend the various functions sponsored by B.U.S.A. as they interest you. Announcements regarding meetings and activities are usually made in most of the sociology classes and via the Sociology Major Email list, the B.U.S.A. web page listing , or you may get information from the Undergraduate Advisor in 424 Barrows. The Black Students in Sociology and Social Welfare group was initiated in the Fall of 1989 by sociology students who wanted to analyze and address problems in the African American community from a sociological perspective. The association's primary focus is to provide a network system for African American students majoring in Sociology or Social Welfare, who are interested in exploring avenues for the economic and social upliftment of the African American community. In addition to discussions, the group will organize projects consistent with the goals of the organization.
All students are welcome to come to the meetings to discuss real problems and practical solutions.
In recent years they have planned activities including the formation of study groups and informal lectures or discussions with professors. In the future they hope to provide informal advising, information on internships, and sociology-related community service opportunities. Postings regarding future activities will be located on the 4th floor of Barrows Hall. Interested students who would like to add their name to the C.L.A.S.S. phone list should see the Undergraduate Advisor in 424 Barrows.
