Black Alumni Leadership Council

  • Home
  • Black Alumni Leadership Council

 

The University of Tulsa’s vibrant alumni community is being enriched by the creation of the Black Alumni Leadership Council (BALC). This new group has four main goals:

  • To serve as a stimulus for the inclusion of Black alumni voices in the broader TU community and the TU Alumni Association board of directors
  • To advise and support institutional leadership in the advancement of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives
  • To unify Black alumni and foster personal and professional networks
  • To support student success among African American students through mentorship, networking and scholarships 

Members expect to focus their advocacy and planning efforts on scholarships and fundraising, alumni engagement, student mentorship, and special events and programs.

The council’s 13 members will serve for one, two or three years. They work in an array of industries and are spread out across the country from Washington and California to Virginia and Maryland.


“The Black Alumni Leadership Council is an incredibly important addition to the TU Alumni Association,” said Ann Heidger, past president of the board of directors. “The entire council brings a perspective to the organization that will help advance TU’s mission in becoming a more diverse and inclusive community and will help us provide more mentoring and programming opportunities. I’m looking forward to serving alongside this important group as we find better ways to engage and support our students and alumni of color.”
