Greetings Fellow Alumni, Family, and Friends,

Allow me to start by saying that it is truly an honor to have the opportunity to serve you.  I am in awe of what BAA has accomplished since our chartering in 2016.  Over the last 7 years, The UA Black Alumni Association has grown tremendously and we endeavor to keep it going.

BAA Leadership has built a reputation of excellence and is known for Signature events such as "Houndstooth and Heels: Black Alumni Weekend", the Freshman Pinning Ceremony, BAA Annual Golf Tournament, "BAMA Connect" and our member webinars.  BAA is committed to "The Collective" by bringing together our experienced alumni, recent grads, current students, and future scholars. 

From Bama Connect, to the MJs, to our introducing new traditions such as the "Through The Doors" Freshman Pinning Ceremony, and more; there is certainly a place for you and your ideas.  We need you. I humbly encourage you to become a member, join a committee, and get engaged. Thank you and ROLL TIDE!
