The Black Business Student Association (BBSA) was founded in 2006 by Sharron St. John, Harrison Stanford, and Charles Onwuka to create a shared space for Black students interested in business. From the beginning, the organization has been dedicated to fostering community, providing academic support, and promoting the professional development of its members. Over the years, BBSA has worked to bridge the gap in corporate America by expanding its capacity to support students and offering meaningful learning opportunities. In recent years, the organization has experienced exponential growth, forming partnerships with some of the most influential companies and connecting members to pathways for long-term success. Each year, a passionate and committed executive board builds upon this foundation, finding innovative ways to deepen member experiences while strengthening community ties. BBSA continues to honor its founding vision of empowering Black students in business through community, opportunity, and growth.
