The Black Resource Center hosts an annual welcome program designed to share information about the UC San Diego student experience from a culturally informed lens. This event is designed for new students and their families to learn more about the resources available to all students, but also those that center the Black student experience at UC San Diego, as well as recipes for a successful UC San Diego career.  Be sure to register to attend to make sure you do not miss out on valuable information as well as an opportunity to build community from day 1 of your UC San Diego career.  For more information please contact brc@ucsd.edu.

Peer Guidance Program

In addition to the Student, Parent, and Family Welcome/Get Together, the Black Resource Center has a Peer Guidance Program which is a program that pairs new students with a Peer Guidance Leader that helps guide them toward success throughout their first year at UC San Diego.  The Peer Guidance Program hosts various events to get students connected within community, and ensure students are prepared to succeed academically at UC San Diego.
