The Black Business Student Association (BBSA) of The University of Texas at Austin is a professional organization established to serve African-Americans and business-minded students. The members of BBSA strongly adhere to the principles of achievement, unity, and service. BBSA aims to unite our members under the common goal of better serving the African-American community through corporate networking, mentorship, business-related functions, social events, and community service that equip its members with the necessary skills to succeed in the professional world and beyond.

We aim to open up our members to mutually beneficial corporate relationships with the goal of enhancing the career opportunities while also enriching the diversity of our corporate sponsors by providing them with access to a rich talent pool of underrepresented students.
