The Center for Black Student Excellence

Welcome! The Center for Black Student Excellence (CBSE) will serve as a central hub for supporting students, centering the lived experiences of Black students, in our Loyola community. 

As a key goal in Loyola's Anti-Racism Initiative, CBSE will strive to foster a sense of belonging for students, with a focus on Black students, and work with campus partners to identify resources, opportunities, and practices for our students to achieve excellence. 

Stay connected with CBSE on Instagram and by signing up for our newsletter here, in addition to checking back here regularly for updates as the center continues to grow. In the meantime, feel free to send any inquiries you may have toblackexcellence@luc.edu, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
