History of the Student Equity Center
The Little Red House
Back in the early 1970s, the Black Student Union gathered for social events in a little red house on Euclid Avenue. It was a safe place to discuss racism and civil rights. The house became known as the Black Cultural Center.
A Place for Everyone
From that little red house, and years of hard work and dedication from many students, faculty and staff, ideas grew into award-winning programs, crowd-gathering events, and university-wide campaigns focused on promoting cultural understanding and the importance of racial harmony.
Today, Boise State’s Student Equity Center is a vital campus resource financially supported by the university. It’s not only used by students but faculty and staff as well. It’s a place for everyone—black and white, Latino and Native American, Asian and European.
