There's a Team of People on Your Side
At the BSSC, there is a dedicated black student success counselor, program directors and staff members all ready to help you during your time at PCC.
We Are Black Excellence
The BSSC serves as the central hub for Black student support programs and Black student life, working with campus partners and local community members to ensure Black collegiate success at PCC.
The BSSC at PCC exists in order to:
Support our Black student community in successfully navigating higher education via
supplemental academic support, social opportunities, and professional development.
Challenge the predominant Eurocentric orientation which dominates academia by applying
intellectual insight in the service of Black communities, creating and supporting
scholarship that drives their liberation.
Our work centers students, and we are also a resource to PCC faculty, staff, and administrators.
On an organizational scale, our work is anchored in the intellectual and cultural
foundations of Black/African thought.

Black Student Success Center Values
Our organization is anchored by a core set of values that roots us proudly in our
Blackness. We call these the Nguzo Saba (The Seven Principles):
We see these as values central to our self-understanding and self-assertion in the world as people of African heritage. The values articulate ways of righteously and rightfully grounding and orienting ourselves in the lives we live, the work we do in the center, the classroom, and the world.
