Black & Hispanic Student Resources
Black and Hispanic students face unique challenges in discovering a workplace where they truly feel they belong. These obstacles can significantly influence their experiences and the opportunities that come their way, shaping their professional journeys in impactful ways.

Community Belonging is a welcoming space in the Clement Building where Black and Hispanic students can connect, find community, and feel at home at APSU. Programs, workshops, and social events throughout the year celebrate diverse experiences and perspectives, helping students build the relationships and skills they need to thrive on campus and beyond.
