UD Center for Black Culture

The Center for Black Culture (CBC) is commonly referred to as a “Home Away from Home" for many black students, and also provides support to other underrepresented student populations.

The Center's mission is to create a supportive environment that encourages the full participation of underrepresented students in all areas of the University, and to educate the larger community on the challenges, needs, and interests of these students. Through the Each One Reach One Mentoring Program (EORO), educational and cultural programs, and professional and leadership development initiatives, the Center assists students in understanding and assessing the various resources available to them, both on and off campus.

The Center provides support to 15-20 Registered Student Organizations annually and advises the Cultural Programming Advisory Board (CPAB) and Black Student Union (BSU) on the development and implementation of large-scale extracurricular events that feature well-known public figures and entertainment acts.

By building and maintaining on-going relationships with faculty/staff, alumni, university departments and academic units, and community agencies, the CBC works to improve the matriculation and graduation rates of black students at UD, and to expand educational growth opportunities for all students. The CBC advocates for the needs of students and student organizations, by recommending institutional policies and practices that will enhance the student experience.

The CBC is a great place to explore and debate ideas, hold study groups, plan and host meetings and events, have a dinner, read a book, write a paper, or just relax.
