It is usually my busiest time, but I manage to balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have loved to start my articles by interviewing some leaders of the Black Student Alliance. I always like to catch up with the group every year to give the Transy community an inside look at one of our campus\u2019s most successful student organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, an inside look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organization has gone through some changes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/2020\/12\/transylvania-black-student-alliance-finds-way-to-make-a-difference-virtually\/\">since the last time I wrote<\/a>. It\u2019s a new semester, graduates move on and continuing students are set to fill a role. This new class of ambitious and talented young Black men and women are helping to bring\u00a0diversity and inclusion to Transy\u2019s campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hera\u2019emperatrize Gipson, a Transylvania junior and president of BSA, commented about an upcoming partnership and events lined up for the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year BSA will be collaborating with the Police Activities League, bringing a diverse group of Transy students to connect with and mentor young students in the community \u2014 helping reshape the relationship between students of color, police and youth in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI want to show them the positive connotation of policing in Black and Brown communities; not everyone in the police force is bad \u2014 therefore some must be good people,\u201d Gipson said when asked about the goal of the partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the organization&#8217;s strong initiative in supporting the community, Gipson promises for BSA to become a strong example in community engagement in hope that other campus organizations follow along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are invited to share that piece of ourselves as marginalized students with the rest of the community, only to make them knowledgeable,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With such large shoes to fill as a junior and president of BSA, she is committing to balance school, work and leadership. \u201cI would like to leave knowing that I made BSA more inclusive, I made BSA comfortable for all who want to make change for Black and Brown students,\u201d she commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is strong diversity and inclusion here at Transy \u2014 it is a place for everyone to feel right at home as part of a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>About the author: Kennedy Irakoze \u201923 is a business marketing major from Kigoma, Tanzania, and a work-study student for the Office of Marketing and Communications.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transylvania&#8217;s Black Student Alliance is focused on community engagement this school year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":18402,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"12424,11486,12476,49,1634,14673","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[552],"tags":[622],"feeds":[],"class_list":["post-18401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diversity-inclusion","tag-black-student-alliance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
