History of the

Institute of

Black Culture

History, Significance and Commitment

Institute of Black CultureIn 1971, the BSU of the

University of Florida

submitted a list of demands

to then President Stephen

O’Connell and on this list

was a Black Cultural Center

When the administration

failed to act on student

demands, protests and

demonstrations followed

After amnesty was denied to

the 67 students were arrested

or suspended for occupying

the UF’s President’s office,

several students submitted

withdrawal slips in protest

The continued withdrawal of

students motivated the

University Administration to

establish the Institute of

Black Culture in 1972

History, Significance and Commitment

History of the

Institute of

Hispanic-Latino

Cultures

History, Significance and Commitment

Institute of Hispanic-Latino Cultures1985 – The Hispanic Student

Association was established.

Presently one of the largest

student-led organizations at

the Univeristy of Florida

1994 - NCLR, LULAC, and the

National Puerto Rican Coalition

all sent letters to President

Lombardi

1994 - Vanessa Carlo-Miranda,

Livia Rodriguez, Amy Stevens,

and Viviana worked with Dr.

Fernando Fagundo to garner

internal support

1994 - Hispanic and Latino

students at UF, growing in

numbers on campus petitioned for

the space. Their vision was a place

where Hispanic and Latino

students could hang out, learn

from one another and just have a

space that was their own.

Current State of FacilitiesBoth of the existing facilities have major health and safety issues.

- Humidity and mold- Termites- Wood rot and decay- Structural issues - Air and water intrusion

Environmental Health and Safety has documented that the institutes cannot continue using these facilities as they are because of fire and space codes.

As our student population grows, so does the demand and use of these facilities. Larger, more functional spaces are needed to continue to provide excellence in programming to students

Formation of Advisory Committees

ADVISORY COMMITTEE

These advisory committees are meant to represent the ideas and perspectives of various constituents, including past, present, and future stakeholders.

The committees’ purpose is to provide valuable input and insight moving forward.

The committees will assist us in looking at all outcomes of the re-constructed IBC and IHLC and are expected to relay and represent the opinions of varying communities tied to the Institutes.
