This monthly gathering is a collaboration between the NouLa Centre for Black Students and the Black Perspectives Office, created to support Black doctoral students through intentional community-building and shared dialogue. Doctoral studies can be demanding and, at times, isolating. Many Black doctoral students express a desire for space to connect with peers who understand the academic pressures and lived realities that shape their experiences. This gathering offers a welcoming environment where students can pause, reflect, and engage with one another in meaningful ways. Held in the NouLa lounge, this is a low-pressure, come-as-you-are space centred on connection, conversation, and mutual support. Participants are encouraged to step away from deadlines and expectations and engage in student-led discussions that feel relevant and grounded.
