Student groups are an important part of learning and development at Transylvania University. While they can\u2019t have large gatherings this year because of the pandemic, they have found alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Black Student Alliance, for instance, recently held a virtual town hall event, \u201cBlack Students Matter: Let Us Be Heard<\/a>,\u201d in partnership with the university\u2019s Creative Intelligence series<\/a>. In attendance were students; Deidra Dennie, vice president for diversity and inclusion; religion professor Carole Barnsley; and guest Taran McZee, associate vice president for diversity, equity and inclusion at Bluegrass Community and Technical College and Transylvania\u2019s former associate vice president for diversity and inclusion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town hall was a chance to hear the needs of Black college students. Watch it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis event was organized \u2026 to listen to the voices and experiences of Black students who live life in predominantly white spaces at a predominantly white institutions,\u201d said Shalomel Jatau ’23, a student activist and BSA secretary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event comes at a time when racial justice is at the forefront of our nation\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe executed a rather successful forum for students and faculty alike to voice their opinions on the racial turmoil we\u2019re currently experiencing with the aid of the president of the student body, Summer Taylor,\u201d added Ruben Joseph ’23, BSA treasurer and events committee chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many BSA members, this event was the tip of the iceberg. Whether members of the Transylvania community are planning to encourage diversity in campus organizations, or rather individual values, BSA is willing to help plot a path through the ambiguity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a few more town halls coming that we are excited to announce,\u201d Jatau said. \u201cWe are currently working with [professor] Zo\u00e9 Strecker to organize these events. Stay tuned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are a member of the school community or the general public looking for understanding, the first town hall was a success. Starting with the understanding of the individuals who attended this event, Transylvania is expected to achieve progressive changes in student life and the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The university encourages organizations that promote change on campus and the community \u2014 as BSA is one those groups, Transy is giving it all the necessary resources for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe event was so successful that we\u2019re planning another in the winter semester,\u201d Joseph said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BSA is looking to establish many changes on Transy\u2019s campus, and this is a special milestone in establishing a path for those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For students who wish to join BSA or partner with the organization, contact Jatau<\/a> or BSA President Jonathan Neal<\/a>. For information on upcoming events for the year, email Jatau or professor Strecker<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
