Each February the Student Learning Center celebrates Black History Month—a time to recognize and honor the rich history, achievements, and contributions of Black Americans.

Envisioned by historian Carter G. Woodson, what began as a weeklong celebration in 1926, grew to a month in 1976.

At the Student Learning Center, we are committed to serving our campus' Black scholars. We invite you to join us in celebrating Black excellence this month and beyond! Explore the resources on our website (bit.ly/slc-black-history-month-2025) to learn more and get involved.

Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

On May 17, 1967, Dr. King spoke on the steps of Sproul Plaza. Addressing more than 7,000 students, he stated: "You, in a real sense, have been the conscience of the academic community and our nation.”

18 years later, in 1985, the campus Student Union was renamed after King. Today, it serves as a reminder of his advocacy and leadership.

Our Story

The Student Learning Center is the premier undergraduate academic support unit at UC Berkeley. Founded in 1973, the Center was established to provide a rigorous and inclusive space for undergraduates to collaborate, learn, and grow. We view peer collaboration as the touchstone of academic and personal success.

The Student Learning Center has grown to serve more than 10,000 undergraduates annually—approximately 30% of the university’s undergraduate population. Today, we’re recognized for our process-oriented, research-driven, and culturally informed approach to collaborative peer pedagogy.

With a wide range of classes, programs, and events, the SLC seeks to push the boundaries of traditional learning models, while advancing our mission of undergraduate empowerment. To further foster academic excellence, we will continue to expand the breadth and depth of our innovative services.
