    • Connect alumni to each other and the University through meaningful communication, programs and events.
    • Design and execute a comprehensive fundraising plan to fund the Black alumni scholarship fund.
    • Facilitate a high level of volunteerism so that the Black Alumni Society, the University and the community-at-large, benefits from the University of Miami’s diverse interests, talents and backgrounds.
    • Encourage investment and support for the University in its successful pursuit of excellence in teaching, research and service.
    • Celebrate the rich history of UM Black alumni, faculty and staff through building upon the best of our traditions and accomplishments
