Welcome to the Black Graduate Students Association (BGSA) at RPI.
I'm truly excited to have you here. Whether you're just beginning your graduate journey or continuing it, BGSA exists to remind you that you are not alone. Our mission is to create a space where Black graduate students feel supported, inspired, and empowered to thrive-both inside and outside the classroom.
At BGSA, we focus on building community, fostering leadership, and offering opportunities that enrich your academic, professional, and personal life. From mentorship and workshops to wellness events and social gatherings, we aim to make your time here not only successful but deeply meaningful.
I encourage you to show up, get involved, and bring your full self to this community. Your story, your presence, and your ideas matter here.
Welcome again. Let's grow, lead, and support one another as we make lasting impact-together.
Yours truly,
Peter Oyefolu
