Thank you from BSU and the Masquerade Ball

On behalf of the Black Student Union, we would like to thank all the faculty and staff who donated money to purchase tickets for our Masquerade Ball. We had over $250 in donated tickets with a total of $850 in ticket sales! These donations allowed students who couldn’t afford a dance ticket to attend the event. Students came dressed to impress and were able to participate in our board games room and 360 booth, dance to the DJ and enjoy a full hot meal for dinner as well — all for $10! To see the pictures of the event, please visit our LLCC BSU Facebook group page!

BSU Fest 2024 will be taking place next week on April 19, 2024, from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. This is the final reminder for those who have signed up, and the last chance for those who have not. BSU Fest 2024 is an amazing event that showcases the diversity and excellence of the black staff and faculty of LLCC and connects you with the black students who are interested in joining LLCC.

We need black volunteers to have lunch with the students and share your stories and advice. This is a crucial opportunity to mentor and inspire the next generation of black leaders and scholars.

If you have signed up, we appreciate your dedication. We will send you more details soon. If you have not yet signed up, this is your last chance to RSVP. If you can come support, we look forward to seeing you!
