Social Activities

The Black Student Union seeks to foster networks between students that make college life more enriching.

The Comedy Show
Every year we sponsor a Comedy Show. Amateur acts are recruited to perform in the popular "Apollo" style comedy show. We feature a professional stand-up comedian and the audience selects the winner of the contest.

The Talent Show
Each year we gather the most talented and creative acts in the city and bring them to UIC for an evening of laughing, crying and just plain fun. The talent show is one of the most widely attended events on campus.

Black Family Night Out
Black Family Night Out (BFNO) is a monthly event where all black students on campus are invited to one location to socialize and network. This event is a collective effort all the black student organizations. Activities include gamming, dinning, and dancing. This event is open to faculty, staff and community members.

Back to School Party
As we know that coming back to school can be somewhat laborious we thought that having a good old-fashioned party where students, new and old, could come together and dance to the music!

The Barbeque
Each academic year we sponsor a two Barbeques - one at the beginning of the fall term and one at the end of the spring term. At the barbeque there is football, Frisbee, soccer and other out-door games. The food is free and the fun is good.
