Enriching firm friendships across our alumni and Buckeye communities

Black Alumni Society - About

About

The Ohio State University Black Alumni Society (OSUBAS) is an officially chartered affiliate of The Ohio State University Alumni Association. 

Since 1982, Alumni volunteers have worked diligently to reconnect Ohio State with our Black Alumni across the country and throughout the world.

Our goals are to be an effective link for the university and the Black community in addition to promoting fellowship and professional relationships among Black alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends of the Society.

We invite you to join our efforts to define the voice of Black alumni to strengthen networks, philanthropy and ensure the matriculation and graduation of our Black students.

We encourage you to join as a Life Donor today. Please be sure to create/update your profile here to ensure you stay connected.
