Our chapter of BSU strives to create an inclusive and understanding space for the education of Black experience, culture and history on campus. BSU meetings are more like a weekly get together rather than formal meetings. Throughout the year we take part in volunteer projects, open forum discussions/panels here at Northern and elsewhere, we also help with events relating to MLK jr. Day and Black History Month. Outside of meetings we get together for cookouts, road trips, basketball games, and whatever else the group is interested in doing. Meetings are open to the public so anyone is allowed to stop by. Feel free to join us.

Hello, my name is Olivia and I have epilepsy. I wanted to create a group where people with epilepsy could get together to talk about the everyday worries that come along with this disorder. My goal is to give people who have epilepsy a chance to receive support and validation from other people like them. To provide a safe space to talk about the worries that come along with epilepsy on a daily basis and to not feel alone. This is a group that is open to not only people with epilepsy, but others who want to learn more about how to support a friend or family member who has it. As someone with epilepsy I know it is hard for other people to understand everyday struggles, this is why I wanted to create a group where other people like me could get the validation to make them feel better. See you there!
