Purdue University's Black Cultural Center is a vibrant element of University life, offering a wealth of programs and services for the entire campus community. We bring together the wonderful diversity of the Purdue family by nurturing and presenting the rich heritage of the African American experience through art, history and cultural understanding. The center sponsors outstanding student performi

ng arts ensembles in dance drama, choral music and creative writing. We also house a special collections library, a computer lab, and student organization office and meeting space.

🖤💛 Meet Ryan Mason! 🖤💛
Back in 2013, a little girl sat down at lunch with her mom and, wearing her favorite Purdue quarter-zip, proudly looked up and said… "Mommy, I wanna go to Purdue."
Fast forward 13 years, and that same little girl is now a proud Purdue student, walking the very campus she dreamed about all those years ago!

Stories like Ryan's are exactly why your support matters. Your donations help create a space where students like her can truly belong and thrive. Click the link in our bio to donate today!

This past February, the BCC was honored to host the legendary Dr. Mae Jemison as our Black History Month keynote speaker!

Dr. Jemison captivated the room as she spoke on her incredible journey and what shaped her into the trailblazing icon she is today. She then engaged in a thoughtful and inspiring Q&A with students, sparking meaningful conversations and leaving everyone in the room feeling motivated and empowered!
