BFSO Brief History
In February 1980, W. Ed Wilker initiated a meeting to consider establishing mechanisms for support, fellowship, and sharing resources. In an organizational planning meeting on October 23, 1981, Larry E. Blount, Eddie Daniels Jr., and W. Ed Wilker made formal presentations that focused on the status of blacks at the University of Georgia and the need for the formation of a Black Faculty and Staff Organization. The Black Faculty & Staff Organization (BFSO) at the University of Georgia acts as a support network for Black faculty, staff, and students by playing a vital role in conceptualizing, advocating, and helping to implement programs and services focused on equity and diversity at UGA and in the Athens Community.
