What is Black Student Success?
Black Student Success is an intentional, welcoming space for Black students at Trent to come together for support and conversations around their Black experience at Trent, the Peterborough & Durham community and beyond. This confidential discussion group is led by student facilitators who have a lived experience in the Black community.
2026-2027 Meetings will take place in the Freedom Lounge on the 2nd Floor of the Trent Student Centre. Date and time TBD
For more information, please send us an email at blackstudentsupport@trentu.ca
As much as we appreciate allies, these meetings are for Black students only.
