The Black Student Union was awarded $1,575 in supplemental funding Sunday to cover costs for its members to attend the National Black Student Union Conference.

The annual conference will be held Friday to Sunday at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater campus, and will focus on addressing the recruitment, retention and graduation of black students, according to the National BSU’s website.

BSU President Timi Adeboje said the amount would cover registration and rooming for five representatives to attend the conference, while transportation would be covered by the group’s current funds.

The Student Association Senate approved the funding in full.
