Black, Brilliance and Belonging (BBB) at UTM consists of a series of events that are designed for Black identifying students rooted in identity and culture. These events aim to support them in their transition into, and retention while in university. BBB programs help students to build a sense of belonging and community, and meaningful connections, paralleled with their academic journeys.
BBB is part of the ‘Black Flourishing and Placemaking at UTM’ initiative funded by APUF.
