UO Black Alumni Network

Vision:

Building a strong network for Black alumni and students for community and global impact. Building strong personal and professional networks.

The UOBAN was founded on these three principles

RELATIONSHIP - MENTORSHIP - SCHOLARSHIP

RELATIONSHIP
We want to re-establish the connection between Black Alumni and the University of Oregon. Facilitating a conversation with current UO Administration, Faculty and staff that best supports Black students on campus. We also plan to help connect or re-connect Black Alumni to each other. MENTORSHIP
We want to connect Black Alumni to current Black UO Students to provide academic, professional and personal mentorship. SCHOLARSHIP
We want to focus on the history of academic excellence and help support recruitment, retention and graduation of Black UO Students. We will also work to raise funds to establish scholarships for Black Students.
