Incoming executive board leaders of the Black Student Union said they plan to increase collaboration with multicultural student organizations and increase their campus presence in the year ahead.
BSU President-elect Gianna Cook and Executive Vice President-elect Tony Peeler will kick off their term April 28, following a year in which leaders revamped advocacy and community building with new initiatives like “Black Power” conversations with other Black organizations at GW to promote collaboration on campus. Cook and Peeler said they plan to rename BSU’s general body meetings as “fellowship nights” to engage members and “recenter” the group around the Black community.
