Black Alumni Council

The Ball State University Black Alumni Council (BAC) aims to support the educational, professional, and social interests of both students and alumni. The council focuses on fostering engagement and networking among its members, creating social and professional opportunities, and providing a platform for sharing information about campus programs. Additionally, it promotes a unified appreciation for the opportunities available at the university, encourages alumni to support current and prospective students, and fosters an environment that reflects multicultural and multiethnic values.
