2021 National Brunch Day

Black Alumni Summit

The Black Alumni Summit's Twenty20 Conference is a convening of innovative thinkers and leaders demonstrating the power of collaboration.

 

The FSU Black Alumni hosted the 2020 convening, which was held on February 28 & 29, 2020 in Tallahassee, Florida. Sunday, March 30, 2020 was a day of Community Service.

To the black alumni at Florida State University who paved the say, words cannot express our gratitude.   You opened so many doors for generations of students, and we are grateful.  We recognize all of you as champions for learning, and we appreciate all that you have done and continue to do.  

 

We thank you.  

 

We honor you as academic ambassadors who have influenced growth and success for black students both on campus and in the world.  Because of leaders like you, we have countless opportunities for learning.  Importantly, we have a special place - the Black Student Union - a space dedicated to all who wish to access it and for all who deserve it.  

 

We know that Florida State University would not be the exemplar of excellence in higher education that it is without your dedication, courage, and resilience as FSU's first black students.  

 

Along with current students, generations of FSU Black Alumni honor all that you have gifted to FSU, and we celebrate your commitment and what it has meant to all of us over the years.
