Alfred L. Edwards 37th Annual BBSA Conference
February 15 - 16, 2013
Ann Arbor

The Black Business Student Association (BBSA) at the Ross School of Business was founded in 1970.  It is a reflection of the school's commitment to educating future minority business leaders and creating a diverse business school community, which as resulted in the Black Business Students' Association becoming one of the most visible and active student-led organizations on campus.

The first BBSA conference began in 1976 as a networking event with only 15 participants.  This year's 36th Annual Conference had over 200.  The conference serves as a networking forum during which students, alumni, and other members of our community can share their personal experiences and provide support to one another.
 

The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management's MBA Application Preparation Seminars (MAPS) are intended to provide prospects with "insider" knowledge about The Consortium’s 17 member schools, the application and admissions process, The Consortium Fellowship opportunity and the benefits of The Consortium membership.

To learn more about The Consortium, click here to attend one of their information sessions.  We encourage all prospective MBA students with a demonstrated commitment to increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in the professions to apply to the Ross MBA Program through The Consortium.
