The idea of a Black Collegia was but a single bullet in the six-page-long BSU co-president transition document, but we took it to heart.

It’s not just a club — it’s a little family. We may only be one per cent of the student population at UBC, but that small number makes me grateful for each Black person that I encounter and creates an instant connection that is irreplaceable and has gotten me through university.
