After spending last semester resurrecting the Black Student Union, a forward looking attitude and a revamped sense of involvement could bring success to this growing group of African American students at Cal State San Marcos this spring.
Under the motto, "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude," the BSU is stepping out of the shadows intent on becoming an integral part of the CSUSM campus community.
Having overcome the financial obstacles that stifled previous manifestations of the BSU, the new and improved BSU unveiled a calendar loaded with events and activities for the coming month at their Jan. 31 weekly meeting.
Involvement is something that will be central to the BSU's ambitions this semester as they do more than simply step out into the campus community. Bringing in representatives from ASI and the Women's Center to their meeting, the BSU is making an effort to work with other campus organizations to bring the entire campus together.
"I think it's more important for us to not just stay BSU in and of itself, but let everyone see us," said BSU President Sherray Blythe to the group. "If you didn't want to get involved, you wouldn't be here."
In their biggest event of the month, the BSU will put on a dance called "Sensual Seduction" on Feb. 23 at the Clarke from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. The BSU encourages students interested in participating to attend their Thursday during U-Hour in University Hall 101.
