This four-episode series tells the stories of four talented Black@Sloan students and alum across the student journey, from application to the alumni experience. The MIT Sloan Black Business Students Association (BBSA) seeks to build a community that supports black students in their personal and professional goals and promotes business issues related to the black community.
