USC BBSA - Mission Statement

The mission of the Black Business Student Association is to serve and support students at the University of Southern California who strive to excel academically, and prepare them for careers in their chosen field of study. 

USC BBSA – An Introduction

The USC Black Business Student Association (BBSA) is an on-campus, undergraduate organization that is open to students of all races, academic majors and disciplines. Also known as “The Professionals Club,” the BBSA’s goal is to create and host events that will prepare students to become professionals in entrepreneurial and corporate settings. 

One of the BBSA’s primary objectives is to provide valuable networking opportunities for students with successful USC alumni. This interaction has led to students obtaining internship and career opportunities at many of America’s most respected companies. To help achieve our objective, the BBSA has collaborated with organizations such as INROADS, and co-sponsors events with other student organizations such as the Latino Business Student Association (LBSA).

Another major goal of the BBSA is to connect major corporations with a talented pool of high achieving students to recruit as future employees. The BBSA plans social and business meeting events designed to allow corporate recruiters and representatives to introduce their firm to the campus community. The BBSA’s signature annual events include the Diversity Networking Dinner co-hosted with the LBSA and the Greater Los Angeles Student Chapter of NABA, The Secrets of Corporate America golfing tutorials at the Brookside Golf Course in Pasadena, and the Student/Alumni Tailgate Barbeque prior to the first home USC football game. All of these events are designed to expose corporations to the best students USC has to offer.

The BBSA is also an organization dedicated to serving the community. In prior years, our membership has volunteered with Teach for LA, and participated in university-sponsored canned food drives and beautification projects.

During the 2011-2012 school year, our goal is to strive for excellence in service to the USC student body, and to continue to make an impact in the community at large.
