Organizational History

Black student organizations at Washington College began in 1968 with the establishment of the Afro-American Student Association. Other organizations followed and merged, including the Minority Student Association in 1973 and the Dale Adams Heritage Exchange in 1992. In 1998, the Black Student Union we have today was formed.
