The Black Staff Alliance (BSA) was founded in 1988, originally called the African-American Staff Group (AASG). The goal of this group was to establish a central point of communication for the Black community at Stanford University in acknowledgement of and with respect for the values and unique histories our members contribute to the institution.  

Mission

In doing so, we act as mentors to students and new professionals. As educators, we work to inform the campus and the community about various issues surrounding the black community while upholding the goals and credibility of Stanford University.
