UTK Black Alumni Council

UTK Black Alumni Council The Black Alumni Council is established to serve the black alumni, the UT community, and to promote the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

The Black Alumni organization was created September 1, 1984, as a sub-organizational group of the UT National Alumni Association. The purpose of the organization was to encourage black alumni involvement in university affairs by:

- Participating in Alumni Association programs and activities
- Developing programs of interest to black alumni, faculty, staff and students
- Encouraging awareness of b

lack alumni, faculty, staff and student concerns
- Recruiting minority students
- Promoting greater financial participation by black alumni

All black graduates and former students of the university were automatically members of the associates. On November 1, 1985, the Black Alumni, led by Harold Archibald, established the Black Alumni Associates Endowment and Scholarship Fund. The fund was created to provide scholarships for deserving black students on the Knoxville campus. The fund exemplified the type of commitment maintained throughout the Associates structure. A thirty-five member board of directors represented the organization.
