SOCA Black Student Support Centre

Overview
The SOCA Black Student Support Centre (BSSC) is operated by SFU Students of Caribbean & African Ancestry (SOCA). SOCA is the constituency group that governs the affairs of the Centre. The Centre offers events, resources, support services and advocacy for Black people and persons of African ancestry. Find events at sfusoca.ca/events.
The Centre was created following years of Black students advocacy led by SOCA for the SFSS to provide safe space and services for Black students.
