Black Educators of Tyndale (BET)
A committee of Tyndale students who seek to offer support for, and awareness of the Black community and Black culture within our diverse community. Their mission is to promote inclusivity within the wider Tyndale community through a few planned events, monthly gatherings, and fundraisers, in hopes of:
- Promoting awareness about true Black culture through educating about Black History and eliminating stereotypes that the media portrays.
- Supporting and encouraging the Black community within Tyndale to excel academically and socially, and find ways to get connected and feel more involved, even at the leadership level.
- Helping others know how and how not to relate to members of the Black community.
