Black Law Students Association

  • Our Mission:
    • The Black Law Students Association ("BLSA") exists to address the unique needs and concerns of the approximately fifty black law students at Duke University School of Law, and to promote diversity within the Duke Law community and within the legal profession.

      Through the use of consistent social interaction and programming geared largely towards scholarship, career development, and community assistance, BLSA fosters academic achievement, community involvement, and, ultimately, the development of future black leadership in the legal profession.

Black Seminarians Union

The Black Seminarian Union at the Duke Divinity School strives to ensure the development of a theological perspective commensurate with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and relevant to the needs of black seminarians and the black church. Its goal is to improve the quality of life theologically, academically, spiritually, politically, and socially for the entire Divinity School community.

Bouchet Society

The Duke University Bouchet Society primarily supports underrepresented minority graduate students in the pursuit of scholarly excellence in the Natural Sciences, Engineering, and Mathematics. It seeks to:

  • Provide a forum for technological and scientific presentations and discussions.
  • Enable networking with students, faculty, alumni and administrators at Duke and neighboring universities as well as across the country.
  • Address ways of promoting diversity and inclusion in the scientific community.
  • Provide information on resources for career development in education and research.
  • Assist in the recruitment of exceptional graduate students to Duke University.

The Bouchet Society hopes to further strengthen the efforts of underrepresented minority graduate students in achieving their career goals in science research and education, and to encourage values that will promote diversity and inclusion in the sciences in honor of its namesake Dr. Edward Alexander Bouchet. The Duke University Bouchet Society meets monthly and email reminders are sent out before each meeting.
