“我们今天的处境始于体育彩票外围平台州立大学,82岁的乔安妮·鲍曼说, 哥伦比亚大学人力资源总监, referring to the Black students she knew during her days as a college student and later as a young alumna. “我发现自己想重新加入这个网络, 一起做某事, 更大更有意义的东西.”
布伦达·科尔曼-考德威尔，78年, an assistant director of human resources for New Jersey Turnpike Authority, 我也有同样的感觉. “Joanne and I had kept in touch with a lot of people through the Black 校友 Association, 但是这个组织解散了,她说。. In the years since, their idea of what an alumni organization could be began to change and grow.
They decided that it was time to have a conversation with their friend 格雷格·柯林斯，79年, who also happened to be the newly appointed chair of the 体育彩票外围平台州立大学 Foundation board.
“Brenda invited me to what I thought was a casual lunch,” Collins recalls with a chuckle. “Instead, she laid out their vision for the Black 校友 Advisory Council. 我喜欢我听到的!”
“现在正是时候, given everything that has been happening in our community and around the world,鲍曼解释道. “变化正在浮出水面, putting diversity and social justice front and center in our schools, 教堂和社区. 有一种紧迫感，我们希望以此为基础.”
