Black Student Center

You belong here

There is a community waiting for you at Indiana University Kokomo; a community that understands the realities of your life and your experiences, a community striving to help you succeed.

The Black Student Center, a part of the Multicultural Center at IU Kokomo, welcomes all students, staff and faculty. Here, we work to center the voices, experiences, and dynamic lives of the members of our Black community in a place where all can work, relax, communicate and learn. We are here to empower you in your endeavors, both personal and in the classroom.

Inside of the Black Student Center, students can find a safe and supportive, inclusive environment. Take part in community conversations and discussions that provide unique perspectives and insight into issues affecting the African diaspora; spend the first Monday of each month listening to music and chatting with your friends; view art that celebrates and recalls the Black experience; or curate activities and events that involve the entire campus.  

This is a space where you are welcome, a space you own, a space for you to thrive.
