     With 18 people attending the first meeting, BSU seems primed for a big year. On this day, the organization was announcing the officers that had been previously voted on.

     The main topic of discussion of the meeting was the events that would be hosted by BSU over this upcoming academic year. Some of the events included the annual BSU social, which is where Avila connects with other groups from other schools with the purpose of meeting new people, the gospel fest, where singers and dancers come to Avila to give a taste of something different than the usual mass, and the debate between the presidential candidates that takes place on Oct. 3. With the large number of attendees at this meeting, BSU is confident this will be directly proportional to their success.

     “I’m pretty excited about this year. If participation stays like it was at this meeting, we will have a very successful year,” said Cierra Coleman.

     “I think we are off to a very good start. As long as our participation stays up and stay committed, we will be a great group on campus,” said Adrian Foster.

     Coleman has been elected president and Foster serves as the treasurer.

     The debate on Oct. 3 will include refreshments and a time for discussion after the dispute has concluded. This event on campus, along with others is something that is exciting for the group.

     “I think it was a pretty successful meeting. We learned about a lot of events going on around campus and who all of our cabinet are,” said Elijah Ming.

     “I think we will be a good organization this year. We will have our hands in more things on campus this year and it is going to be all good,” said LeAnn Harrison.

     Ming is the vice president this year and Harrison is the secretary.
