BFSG mission:

• strengthen the relationships among Black people within the Skidmore College community
• foster a sense of community and mutual support through social gatherings, networking, mentoring, and coalition building
• support professional development
• outreach to student groups
• provide a visible campus presence
• support the administration's recruitment and retention efforts
• educate and engage with the community on issues related to race, the Black experience, and anti-racism
• develop the relationship between Skidmore and Saratoga Springs' Black community members
