Black Cultural Center
Welcome!
The Black Cultural Center (BCC) at Virginia Tech is a welcoming and intentional community space dedicated to fostering identity exploration, social responsibility, and collaboration through the lens of the Black experience. As a vital part of the university’s efforts to create an inclusive campus, the BCC serves students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members by providing space for rest, respect, reflection, and connection. Rooted in Black history, culture, and scholarship, the BCC supports student persistence, retention, and success by offering transformative educational experiences, co-curricular programs, and strategic partnerships that promote wellbeing, belonging, and academic achievement. The center is a hub for dialogue, critical reflection, and experiential learning, empowering individuals to engage in ethical action and cultural understanding within and beyond the university. Through collaboration with campus partners, the BCC advances Virginia Tech’s land-grant mission by deepening relationships and fostering community engagement. Whether studying, organizing, or simply resting, all who enter the BCC are invited to explore their multifaceted identities, contribute meaningfully to shared goals, and feel valued in a space built on respect, dignity, and unity.
