Saint Mary’s University Black Student Advisor
Did you know Saint Mary’s has a Black Student Advisor?
What is the role of the BSA you ask?
My role is to provide education around support services to all students of African descent studying at Saint Mary’s. I can provide you with information packages on scholarships, awards, bursaries and employment opportunities specifically for students of African descent! Sounds exciting doesn’t it?
I am here to provide all students with a wide variety of services and opportunities available on campus, within the community and across Canada.
