Our Mission & Values
Our Mission
The Brown Center for Students of Color (BCSC) serves as a gathering place for communities of color. Students are encouraged to build meaningful relationships across difference, develop racial and ethnic consciousness, and enact change at Brown and beyond. The Center advances the University's mission of educating and preparing students to discharge the offices of life with usefulness and reputation by empowering students of color, cultivating leadership, facilitating critical reflection, fostering informed action, and promoting social justice.
Inclusivity
White students already participate in the BCSC's signature programs, including the Third World Transition Program (TWTP), MPC Peer Counselor workshops, heritage series events, and staff positions. The new social justice peer education program will also provide an opportunity for all students to receive social justice, facilitation, and leadership training to present workshops to the campus community.
The Brown Center for Students of Color is a resource available for all Brown students regardless of race, color, or national origin.
