The BSSC (Black Student Success Centre) is the academic and personal hub of professional growth and development for all Black students at Brock and acts as both a partner and key liaison to the broader university community.

This resource for undergraduate students can provide legal advice, tax services, wellness resources, information about the Undergraduate health & dental plan, and more. They also offer a Food First program aimed to address the growing issues of food and health insecurity among Canadian post-secondary students.

Brock’s Faith and Life Centre provides both religious and secular opportunities for friendships, education, counselling, critical thinking about religion, and personal growth. The Faith and Life Centre now finds its home in one of the most beautiful spaces on campus, Alphie’s Trough. The Centre is a space for all students, and all student clubs – religious or otherwise. Part of the space is designated as a drop-in quiet study space, while the other half is primarily used for religious practices, i.e. prayer groups, Bible studies, and discussion groups.

The Food First Program is a partnership between the Brock University Students’ Union (BUSU), the Graduate Students’ Association (GSA) and Brock University. Food First supports Brock students impacted by food insecurity. The program provides students in need with a local grocery store gift card, as well as connections to community resources and other programming related to food security.

This resource provides information for graduate students about the Graduate health & dental plan, financial advice and services, international student services, and more.

As part of the Student Success Centre, Hadiyaˀdagénhahs First Nations, Métis and Inuit Student Centre is focused on providing a welcoming, supportive and inclusive environment for Aboriginal students and visitors to our campus. They offer social and academic supports in a culturally sensitive manner to encourage Aboriginal students to maintain their identity within the university setting.

Their goal is to support and foster independence in students with accessibility needs; advocate for accessibility for students; and provide resources and education opportunities for staff and faculty to ensure a welcoming environment for all. Services include case management, support with classroom accommodations, alternative format texts, assistive technology, a quiet room, and more.

The SJC offers educational workshops, gender-affirming resources, and runs a multitude of social justice events throughout the year.
