The Purdue University Black Graduate Student Association (BGSA) is a non-profit student organization committed to the unification of its members through the facilitation of programs that strengthen the community of Black graduate and professional students across all disciplines. It serves to enrich the graduate school experience of students interested in Black culture. The BGSA fulfills this goal through programming that offers opportunities for professional and scholarly development, community involvement, and social exchange.

Latinx Graduate Student Organization

LGSO logoThe LGSO addresses the needs of Purdue's Latinx graduate student population and represents their interests and perspectives to the greater university community.

In September 2016, a small group of students that would later become the 2016-2017 LGSO Board, started meeting to discuss building an organization that could provide a sense of community for Purdue Latinx graduate students. Starting from nothing at the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year, these students have nonetheless successfully managed to organize social and professional development events directly addressing the expressed needs of Purdue Latinx graduate students.
