About

Mission

The Black Student Cultural Center (BSCC) facilitates the recruitment, retention and growth of students of African descent by maintaining an environment that promotes academic excellence and personal achievements.

Vision

The Black Student Cultural Center is the premier vehicle instrumental in the academic success of students of the African Diaspora.

Outreach Services

BSCC offers a welcoming social environment that facilitates the advancement of all UWM students. We make it a priority to encourage and prepare students to participate in and contribute to the global community. The advocacy and intervention services that MSSCs/coaches provide help to resolve situations that arise from academic demands and cultural differences. We assist students to effectively work with academic advisors and faculty members and refer students to mentoring and other support services. Our staff works diligently to establish and maintain contact with UWM’s undergraduate and graduate student body through sponsorship of educational and cultural programs that promote an understanding of campus diversity and help students feel connected to the university. In collaboration with pre-collegiate schools, we assist prospective students with their higher education decision-making.
