Black Graduate Student Association - Imani

Rooted in one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa, Imani (meaning Faith in Swahili) teaches us to believe with our hearts in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders, and the righteousness and victory of our struggle. With Imani at the forefront of all we do, the purpose of BGSA: Imani is to empower individuals within LMU’s graduate community who identify as Black, African American, Black biracial, multicultural, African, or within the Black Diaspora and to provide networking opportunities with other incoming students, current students, alumni, staff, undergraduates, and faculty at LMU. The goal is to represent an established presence of this community for students that fosters connection and ongoing support.
