Peer Advisors

Peer Advisors are a select group of students who represent Blackhawk to our student body and local communities. They serve as Advising, Registration and Orientation (ARO) leaders, tour guides and assist with the many events that take place on campus. Peer Advisors have been trained to answer common advising and registration questions.

Student Organizations

Student organizations provide valuable experience to students by fostering leadership, personal development, career opportunity, and community relations. They are considered an integral part of the total education experience at Blackhawk.

Student Representative to the District Board

Blackhawk was one of the first technical colleges in Wisconsin to formally have a student representative to the Board. Typically the representative is the President of the Student Government Association or a designee. The student representative serves in a non-voting position and acts as the liaison between the District Board and the student body.

Student Commons

The Student Commons is located on the lower level of Central Campus and is open to all students. The Student Commons is the perfect place to meet friends, play games, watch TV, study, or simply hang out. It also features a multi-purpose room and a Unity Lounge. The multi-purpose room is ideal for student organizations or group meetings to gather. The Unity Lounge is a safe place for Blackhawk students and features diverse and inclusive information and resources.
