Black Student Union strives to foster, support, and promote the social, political, and educational growth of Black Students at Oregon State University. Our mission is to spread awareness and compassion through the education of our peers and service to our community. We aspire to take a small group of students from our organization to this conference in order to support their personal growth and the growth of our community. As an executive board team we believe that the overall topic and individual workshops of this conference hold information that would greatly benefit the students that attend the conference and allow them to inform and educate others who were unable to attend.
The 2019 Conference theme is ““STILL I RISE: NAVIGATING COLLECTIVE BLACK TRAUMA AND RESILIENCE” and calls on participant to actively engage in workshops and opportunities provided. A quote from the upcoming conference description;
“This year, BSC will address mental health in the black community by exploring the causes of historical and contemporary traumas. The conference will focus on different forms of self-care, self-preservation, and survival tactics through the discussion of topics including resilience based in community, spirituality, and art. Together, we will strive to collectively process and prosper.”
Oregon State University has room for growth in these specific areas. By sending these students to the Black Solidarity Conference, we can empower and activite student leaders to bring this experience home to share with students, faculty, and fellow change-makers at OSU.
To guarantee equitable and fair distribution of funds received, students will be chosen based on participation in Black Student Union activities leading up to our deadline. Additionally, students who attend the conference will be required to present their findings at Oregon State, during an event that will be hosted by Black Student Union around Sex, Sexuality, and Gender within the Black Community.
