The BCSC Support Team comprises talented student staff who assist with communications, operations, and media coverage. Whether capturing a powerful moment, designing an event flyer, or supporting the day-to-day flow of the office, these students play a key role in how the BCSC connects with the campus community.

Roles include:

• Multimedia Assistant: Documents and shares BCSC events through video, photography, and audio storytelling. Edits and produces multimedia content for web and social platforms.
• Graphic Designer: Designs digital and print materials to promote BCSC initiatives and events. Uses visual storytelling to reflect the Center’s values and amplify student voices.
• Photographer: Captures images of BCSC spaces, gatherings, and community moments. Helps visually document the Center’s impact and history.
• Office Assistant: Supports the daily operations of the Center, including front desk coverage, communications support, and event logistics.

MPC Counselors are paraprofessional student staff members who live and work in first-year residence halls, serving as mentors and community builders with a focus on supporting students of color. MPCs help foster personal growth, social responsibility, and connection through one-on-one relationships and group engagement.

MPCs receive training in active listening, conflict resolution, crisis response, and inclusive community-building. They also engage deeply with topics such as racism, classism, sexism, and other systems of oppression.

For many new students of color, MPCs are a vital source of guidance, support, and affirmation within a predominantly white institution. Through day-to-day interactions and intentional programming, they help make Brown a more inclusive and connected place to live and learn.

MPC Coordinators (MPCCs) are experienced mentors and leaders within the MPC program. They work closely with the Assistant Director for First-Year and Sophomore Programs to support the development of MPC Counselors and strengthen the program's impact across campus.

As returning members of the MPC team, MPCCs offer guidance, structure, and mentorship to current MPCs, helping to build a strong and supportive community. They model ethical leadership, encourage collaboration, and help ensure the program reflects the values of inclusion, accountability, and care.

MPCC responsibilities include:

• Peer Leadership: Partner with BCSC staff to help MPCs meet their responsibilities in a thoughtful, ethical, and inclusive way.
• Mentorship & Support: Help MPCs develop their peer mentoring style and navigate complex topics related to race, identity, and campus life. Encourage collaboration across residence halls and with campus partners.
• Community Awareness: Recognize and respond to the ways race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religion, and nationality shape student experiences. Foster inclusive and affirming spaces.
• Campus Advocacy: Promote honest, compassionate dialogue in residential spaces. Support MPCs in addressing discrimination, bias, or harm. Represent the MPC program with integrity in the broader Brown community.
• Program Development: Engage with campus leaders and faculty to strengthen and advance the mission of the MPC program.

The TWTP team organizes and facilitates the Third World Transition Program, one of the BCSC’s signature pre-orientation experiences. Grounded in the legacy of BIPOC student activism, TWTP introduces incoming students to community, dialogue, and critical reflection before the academic year begins.

The TWTP Co-Coordinators and Leaders work closely with the BCSC team and MPCs to develop and lead workshops, events, and affinity-based spaces during TWTP.
