Black Student Cultural Center
In early 2019, the UW-Milwaukee Black Cultural Center merged with African American Student Academic Services to establish the newly created Black Student Cultural Center (BSCC). The center’s primary function is to serve as a resource for students of African descent by partnering with UWM units and departments, community organizations, and local businesses. Our multicultural student success coordinators (MSSCs) are coaches who provide holistic advising to students.
The Black Student Cultural Center provides key programs and services to students that allow them to grow. Our events focus on students of African descent academically, socially, culturally, and globally through programming and networking.
About the Black Student Cultural Center
BSCC offers a welcoming social environment that facilitates the advancement of all UWM students. We prioritize encouraging and preparing students to participate in and contribute to the global community.
Our staff works diligently to establish and maintain contact with UWM’s undergraduate and graduate student body by sponsoring 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.
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.
