The Brown Center for Students of Color (BCSC) fosters community through events and programs that celebrate diverse ways of knowing and being. By engaging in self-reflection and critical dialogue, students explore their lived experiences within a socio-historical context. Through this understanding, the BCSC empowers students to identify structural challenges and take action toward meaningful change.
The Brown University LGBTQ Center fosters an open, safe, and inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ students, faculty, staff, and allies.

Recognizing that gender identity and sexual orientation intersect with race, ethnicity, class, disability, and other identities, the Center upholds Brown’s values of justice, equality, and respect for all that enter.
The Brown University Undocumented, First-Generation College, and Low-Income (U-FLi) Student Center, founded in 2016, is a space for students who identify with the U-FLi experience at Brown. The center provides community, programming, and advising to support students as they navigate a historically white, elite institution. Committed to advocacy and empowerment, the U-FLi Center acknowledges the socio-political challenges that impact students' academic well-being and fosters a sense of belonging and resilience.
The Sarah Doyle Center for Women and Gender strives to cultivate community across difference and inspire critical dialogue and collective movement-making. Our vision is to create a world without sexism and misogyny, as well as other oppressions. We work to assure that people who enter our doors are affirmed in their humanity and are inspired to create a more just world. Intersectionality, a term developed primarily by Black feminists, is key to contemporary feminist work, and it is key to the work of the Sarah Doyle Center.
