Club Spotlight

Black Business Students’ Association

The Black Business Student's Association’s mission is to provide an empowering environment for students of African heritage who aspire to excel in prestigious careers within various areas of business. Our goal is to foster a competitive environment where students are consistently challenged and encouraged to grow, ensuring they are exceptionally prepared for entry-level roles within their chosen domain of business or for furthering their education.

We aim to achieve this by helping our members to realize earlier on what their goals are, to get them involved throughout their tenure at UMass, facilitating connections with alumni and industry professionals alike, teaching industry-specific skills, and providing opportunities for members to showcase their skills in front of potential employers.

Long term we want to become a bridge for those from historically marginalized communities into wealth and prosperity and encourage members from those same communities to pursue careers in business.

To contact us reach out to: ISOM.BBSA@gmail.com

From local businesses to global brands, UMass AdLab provides its members with experience working for real-world clients. It is the only student-run advertising agency on campus. With three teams and one incredible reach, over the years AdLab’s work has been found around campus and on the billboards of Time Square— and everywhere in between. If you are interested in joining, please reach out to AdLab at umassadlab@gmail.com and include your resume.
