“Defining the Future with the Knowledge from the Past”

​

The FSU Black Alumni (renamed in 2013) is an officially chartered affiliate of the FSU Alumni Association and is incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in the State of Florida.

  2. Advocate for open access and provide direct input into all phases of university activities which concern the recruitment, admission, retention, graduation and placement of Black students.
