The Black Alumni Leadership Council was created to provide counsel to Boston University and the Alumni Association to help strengthen the University in its entirety by establishing productive interaction among Black alumni, students, faculty, and staff. The council will channel its efforts toward broadening opportunities for Black communities at Boston University, and maximizing Black alumni participation in the life and support of the University.<\/p>\n
From its inception, Boston University was conceived as a place of tolerance, opportunity, and hope.<\/p>\n
Because of this founding principle, Black students were welcomed here for many decades when they were rejected elsewhere. Leaders of the civil rights movement\u2014most notably Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (GRS\u201955, HON\u201959)\u2014found their voices here. And we are a better University because of the diversity of thought and experience we have long enjoyed on our campuses.<\/p>\n
BU\u2019s Black community has created a story that\u2019s worth remembering, assessing, and celebrating\u2014even as its next chapters are being written. <\/p>\n
We are proud to be re-launching the Black Alumni Leadership Council in early 2025. We hope the selection process to be inclusive, thorough, and intentional in order to honor the legacy of this council, and the students that we serve.
