ASA (Asian Student Association) works to create a welcoming and safe environment for members of the AAPI community as well as the rest of the student body.

BLK (Black.Liberated.Knowledgeable)

Moderator: Terrell McMoore

Our mission is to provide a fun, inclusive space for students to express themselves comfortably, by encouraging all perspectives on the black experience. Our focus is on discussing black and minority issues in society today, through the facilitation of conversations on black culture and unity. In addition to this, our events will be all-inclusive and student-focused, with an emphasis on the black experience. Through all of this, we will promote the self-love and confidence of all identities. We want to provide a space for All experiences to be celebrated; while leaving a legacy DeLaSalle can be proud of.
