UT’s Black Alumni Weekend!
Building A Bridge To The Future…
Hello my fellow Rockets,
Thursday, October 20th, not only kicks off our exciting homecoming and parent/family weekend but also starts UT’s Black Alumni Weekend hosted by the Jeff Johnson Institute, University of Toledo Africana Studies Department and the Black Student Union.
Black Alumni Weekend is designed to accomplish the following:
1. Raise significant and increasing sums of scholarship dollars for existing and future UT students,
2. Engage Black Alumni in the activities of the University,
3. Provide targeted opportunities for Black Alumni to give and make ongoing financial commitments to UT,
4. Develop a targeted strategy to create an active mentoring relationship between black alumni and current black students, and
5. Honor distinguished black alumni. This weekends festivities are geared to engage black alumni and students who rarely attend the Homecoming festivities. And encouraging all students and black alumni to not only attend the game, but to participate in as many other activities as possible.
