Black Alumni Council
UC San Diego’s Black Alumni Council is an affinity group organized under UC San Diego Alumni. Our mission is to positively and proactively represent UC San Diego’s Black alumni and to foster a sense of community and connection amongst alumni and current students. We foster community through professional development and networking opportunities, social gatherings, and philanthropy through our flagship program, the Black Alumni Scholarship Fund (BASF). We invite all Tritons to join us in advancing our mission.
Mission
The Black Alumni Council and BASF Board are committed to increasing the campus diversity at UC San Diego. We believe that more Black graduates on a sustained basis over time will help transform society and improve social justice in the wider San Diego community or wherever our graduates reside.
