Black Student Association
The Black Student Association (BSA) at Lyon College provides a support network for the Black Community at Lyon. BSA provides cultural enrichment, community support, campus involvement not only here on campus but also in the community at large. BSA also helps to address issues affecting the Black Community through open forums encouraging students to speak up.
"I'm very proud to be Black, but Black is not all I am. That's my cultural, historical background, my genetic makeup, but it's not all of who I am nor is it the basis from which I answer every question." -Denzel Washington
