Greetings!

Welcome to the South Central Regional page of the National Black Graduate Student Association! It is with great honor and pleasure that I extend my best wishes to you as the 2011-2012 South Central Regional Representative of the National Black Graduate Student Association (NBGSA). At the national conference in Columbia, SC on March  2011, I was elected as South Central Regional Representative of the national executive board for 2011-2012.

We look forward to working closely with you to increase our membership and conference attendance, especially for the regional conference. Together we will be preparing for the 2012 national conference to be held in Valley Forge, PA on March 14-17, 2012, as well as hosting and organizing the regional conference.

We will ensure constant communication with all chapter presidents and encourage the creation of new chapters in the South Central region where none exist. The South Central region proudly represents graduate and professional scholars in the states of Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Remain assured of our full and faithful commitment in representing you, the region, and the National Black Graduate Student Association (NBGSA). We envision a dynamic year, one that will ensure great groundwork for building a tradition of excellence and sustaining the organization for the years to come. We look forward to working with you!

Sincerely,

Vemtria White
2011-2012 South Central Regional Representative
