Support SCU's Black and African Student Body!
Igwebuike is SCU’s Black Student Union! Founded as the Black Student Union in 1967, but changing its name to Igwebuike in 1985 after a massive movement to create the MCC, this organization aims to promote awareness of African-American issues and provides numerous social and educational activities as well as support for students.
The word “Igwebuike” is Igbo for “In Unity There Is Strength.” This Unity is a major goal of Igwebuike today. Other goals of Igwebuike are: to set good examples for one another, as well as for the African-American community, recruit both current students (for Igwebuike) and prospective first-years (to enhance future community), and to retain our members.
Gifts to Igwebuike will go towards hosting events for the Black student and faculty community on campus as well as the broader Bronco community that sponsor a sense of belonging and joy for all students. These gifts will also go towards subsidizing member costs for off-campus events, providing wellness materials at general meetings, and transportation costs for trips to help immerse Black SCU students into the local San Jose/Santa Clara Black community.
