● Compton Cookout
○ 2010 (only 5 years ago)
○ A Fraternity Party during Black History Month
○ Guests were “invited to don gold teeth in the style of rappers from the Los
Angeles suburb of Compton, eat watermelon, and dress in baggy athletic wear.”
○ The black community and professors got very upset and protests
eventually lead to creating the black resource center
● We are not as diverse of a campus as you may think and
these resource centers are here to help those who fall
into those minorities/oppressed/disprivilege
● Other resource centers came to exist post that event

21. Cross
Cultural
Center
Committed to supporting the
needs of UCSD’s campus
communities by creating a
welcoming and holistic
learning environment for
everyone. Our vision at the
Cross-Cultural Center is to
empower UCSD to
recognize, challenge, and
take proactive approaches
to diversity for campus as a
whole. As part of the UC
San Diego Campus
Community Centers, we
value differences and
building relationships at all
levels of the university and
experience community and
diversity through broad lens.
Established in 2013 as a
unit of Equity, Diversity &
Inclusion, the Black
Resource Center (BRC) is a
Campus Community Center
which serves the entire
population of UC San Diego
while emphasizing the Black
experience. Services
include but are not limited
to: academic support
services,
mentoring/leadership
development, co-and
extra-curricular
programming, and
non-academic counseling.
Since opening in 1996,
the center has been a
space where people
work collaboratively to
foster the development
of diverse groups of
women. We strive to
increase awareness of
issues affecting
women and men while
creating a sense of
community at UCSD.
Since opening on
November 8, 1999, our
office has been a
proud home for the
entire UCSD Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender (LGBT)
community. We
provide a visible
presence on campus
and enhance a sense
of connection and
community among
LGBT faculty, staff,
students, and our allies
at UCSD.
One of the newest
Campus Community
Centers under the new
Vice Chancellor of
Equity, Diversity, and
Inclusion at UC San
Diego. The RRC is open
to everyone but we strive
to emphasize and foster
the access, retention,
and graduation of
Chicano/a-Latino/a
students as well as
create strong
connections with our
surrounding community.
