The Black Student Coalition

About Us

The Black Student Coalition was founded in 1967 to establish and maintain a spirit of solidarity among the black students of
Davidson College; to effect awareness within the framework of Davidson with regard to the contributions of black persons
to the total environment of Davidson College; to serve as an active force ready and willing to support the black members
of the Davidson community and to aid them in overcoming adversities they may face; to provide an outlet for the social and
cultural needs of black students; and to challenge Davidson College to become an embracing environment for black students
and diversity as a whole. The BSC received their Patterson Court House in 1981. All members of the Davidson College
student body are eligible for membership. The BSC holds social events and intellectual events, is involved in the community,
and helps recruit and orient prospective students.
