The Black Achievement Success and Engagement (BASE) initiative provides a foundation for students to grow, learn, discover, and thrive.?By offering high-impact academic and extracurricular programs that center on the unique and yet varied experiences of students of African descent, BASE equips students with the knowledge, resources, skills, and support necessary to turn their dreams into reality.

USF's mission calls us to identify ways to alleviate the marginalization and isolation experienced by black students and ensure their academic and co-curricular success. The Black Achievement Success and Engagement Program aims to do just that by building a more accessible, inclusive, and empowering campus for our black students."
