Black Graduate Experience Living Learning Community (BGELLC)

Established in Fall 2021 and located in the Capa building of Nuevo East, the Black Graduate Experience Living Learning Community (BGELLC) creates space for residents to engage with and celebrate Black graduate student experiences. All eligible students, regardless of background, are welcome to live in the BGELLC and participate in its community offerings.

Community and collectivism undergirds the goals of the BGELLC which are to:

  1. Address issues of concern to the Black graduate student experience living in campus-provided housing by providing an inclusive space for all eligible graduate students that emphasizes community and social justice
  2. Foster graduate scholarship, excellence, and achievement through meaningful programming that promotes pro-Black connections and celebration, shared personal and scholarly experiences, and life-long relationships

The BGELLC is a community where Black graduate students feel welcomed, affirmed, and celebrated.
