Black Alumni Network



The UOAA Black Alumni Network is an alumni affinity chapter which was established in 2016 to connect Black alumni and provide support to current Black UO students. The Black Alumni Network encourages Black alumni, former students, current students, faculty and staff members, parents and family members of students, and members of the UO community who identify as Black or have a heart for the UOBAN mission to get involved with the group.

Vision:
Building a strong network for Black alumni and students for community and global impact.

Mission:
The UOAA Black Alumni Network's mission is to foster community by providing opportunities to build strong person and professional networks for Black alumni and students. We are committed to empowering our community through mentorship, scholarship, and the celebration of blackness.

Support our students!

The UO Black Alumni Network has created a scholarship opportunity for Black students at the University of Oregon. Learn more about the student support fund, and help support incoming freshman, transfer and graduate UO students.
