Black College Women (BCW)

Established in 2015. This project was created as a platform for all Black women across campus to unite in a shared dedication to work towards the elimination of historical race, gender, class, cultural, and religious barriers to success for young Black women.  The goals of the project include (a) nurturing an internal love and respect for Black women’s lives and bodies (b) engaging young women in advocacy for one another, (c) building capacity for sustained personal, academic, social, and emotional growth and (d) connecting Black women to growth opportunities across grounds and globally.
