RPI-Black Graduate Student Association

Welcome to the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Black Graduate Students Association (BGSA) LinkedIn page! The BGSA is a student organization dedicated to supporting the community of Black graduate students at RPI. Our goal is to integrate new Black graduate students into the RPI community, make our members aware of professional and financial opportunities and resources, and host events that cultivate social interactions. Some events that we throw are: • Fellowship Workshops • Game Nights • Academic & Professional panels and much more! In addition to these goals, we are working with the RPI administration on the recruitment and retention of Black graduate students at RPI. Our goals are to increase the number of Black graduate students on campus and keep the attrition rate low.
