Third World Transition Program
The Third World Transition Program (TWTP) is a pre-orientation program that welcomes applications from all first-year students regardless of race, color, or national or ethnic origin. During the program, we invite all participants to reconsider their history and aspects of their identity.
The Minority Peer Counselor (MPC) program raises awareness of the many barriers that continue to challenge minority students' ability to thrive in a diverse environment. MPCs address the needs and concerns of communities of color, especially those who did not attend Third World Transition Program.
The Student Advisory Board (SAB) helps the Director develop the vision and strategic plan for the Brown Center for Students of Color. The BCSC would not be what it is today without student activism. It is critical that student input be considered in planning the BCSC’s future.
The BCSC, in collaboration with student organizations, academic and co-curricular departments as well as other centers, sponsor and collaborates on over 50 lectures and programs throughout the academic year to which all Brown students are invited surrounding topics of race, cultural celebration, social justice and resistance. They are represented in our six Heritage Series.
