our
mission
The Black Business Student Association (BBSA) serves as a support network for Black MBA, MSx, and PhD students at the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB).It also strives to enhance the GSB experience for all students; membership is open to all GSB students interested in cultural and professional issues that affect African-Americans.
The BBSA provides the opportunity for students to serve as mentors to local high school and undergraduate students, and interact with African-American GSB alumni. The annual gala presents a forum for the community to come together and discuss relevant issues and plan strategies for success, and features terrific keynote speakers.
The BBSA also plays a key role in connecting with the African-American communities at other top business schools. In addition, a growing number of companies are reaching out to the BBSA, in order to tap our high-quality talent pool.
Student of the Week
Shonda Jackson
"I came to Stanford with a mission to make positive social impact, and to my surprise it was the people - not the academics or Stanford-led initiatives - that really helped me formulate the foundation of my nonprofit."
