Background

Scope and content:

The Black Resource Center records at UC San Diego documents the work of the Center and its affiliates, including administrative files, publications, projects, events, and outreach. Of particular note are materials documenting the planning and direction of the Center.

Biographical / historical:

The Black Resource Center (BRC) was established due to advocacy efforts by students, supported by faculty, staff, alumni, and the wider community. The desire to create such a center at UC San Diego culminated after a series of racially motivated events during the Winter Quarter of 2010; leading to student protests and demonstrations. A proposal for the Center was developed in 2012. Due to these efforts, the Black Resource Center (BRC) opened in May 2013.

The Black Resource Center (BRC) serves everyone at UC San Diego, while emphasizing the Black experience; seeking to foster community and provide support services for students. The Center provides key services focusing on engagement, retention, and graduation.

Directors include: Stacia Smith Solomon (inaugural, 2013-2016), Porsia Curray (2016-2022), and John W. Rawlins III (2022-current).
