Originally founded in 1973 as the Human Relations Council, the organization has played a major role for black students at Virginia Tech. During the formative years, the purpose of the Human Relations Council was to provide a social outlet for those few black students at Virginia Tech. Over the years, the purpose of the Human Relations Council has steadily evolved, thus bringing about the name change to the Black Student Alliance in the late 1970's.

Since that time, BSA has been a social, political and even a programming organization. However, It has always been an important part of the black life at Virginia Tech. More recently, BSA has found its niche and evolved into a programming organization.
