UWM is also dedicated to preparing our students to meet workforce demands at the regional, state and global levels. The services provided by these centers play a vital role in helping students deepen their understanding of different perspectives and collaborate more effectively with people from various backgrounds and experiences. The centers regularly collaborate with each other and other campus units to provide exceptional programming and services to students, faculty, staff and the community.\u00a0The centers and their programs and events are open to all students. Some programs and events may also be open to faculty, staff, and the community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To support academic achievement, personal growth, and leadership development, a wide range of support services and culturally responsive resources are available to the UWM community. Facilitated through the Black Student Cultural Center, these programs provide the essential tools students need to navigate the university experience, build meaningful connections, and foster a lasting sense of belonging.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\">\n<div class=\"uwm-p-card uwm-p-card--color-head uwm-p-card--contact uwm-u-mb-40\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--profile-header\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--profile-header-text\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Black Student Cultural Center<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">\n<ul class=\"uwm-c-list--contact uwm-c-list--cleanlist\">\n<li><i class=\"fa-solid fa-envelope fa-fw\"><\/i><a href=\"mailto:rms2@uwm.edu\">rms2@uwm.edu<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"fa-solid fa-mobile-screen-button fa-fw\"><\/i><a href=\"tel:414-229-5834\">414-229-5834<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"fa-solid fa-location-dot fa-fw\"><\/i><span>Bolton Hall 176B<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Monday &#8211; Friday: 9:00 am &#8211; 4:00 pm<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-buttons--full\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--full uwm-c-button--icon-right uwm-c-button--icon-arrow uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwmilwaukee.campus.eab.com\/\" rel=\"\">Schedule An Appointment<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"uwm-bg-gray uwm-u-py-80\"><div class=\"uwm-l-container--base uwm-l-container--overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"h-upcoming-events\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upcoming Events<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>There are no upcoming events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list uwm-c-list--link-arrow\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/studentaffairs\/organizer\/black-student-cultural-center\/\"><strong>All events<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"uwm-bg-gray-dark uwm-u-py-80\"><div class=\"uwm-l-container--base uwm-l-container--overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading heading-separator\" id=\"case\">Student Centers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Student Affairs Student Centers collaborate to support and advocate for students through comprehensive programs, resources, professional development, and community connections in Milwaukee.
