Black Alumni Network

The 糖心logo入口 Black Alumni Network (BAN) is the first-ever affinity group within the 糖心logo入口 Alumni Association. BAN was formed out of the Black Alumni Reunion, which was established to connect Black alumni and support current Black 糖心logo入口 students. Anyone who has attended 糖心logo入口 is considered an alumnus and, as such, is eligible for membership in the BAN. To be inclusive, the BAN encourages Black alumni, including current students, their families, and faculty and staff who identify as Black or have a heart for the BAN mission, to get involved with the group.
