Ask any member of the Black Alumni Society, and they’ll tell you the same thing. They’re more than an organization. They’re family.

Since its founding more than 40 years ago, BAS has grown to over 15,000 members. “We have the shared experience of being students at NC State and being minority students at a predominantly white university," said Kirk Wilder ‘90. "We share a kinship.”

The organization comes with opportunities — both to foster lifelong community and to support the next generation of Black students on campus. “What we’re doing is pouring into the next generation of scholars, to break down some potential barriers to their access of education and to also, quite frankly, make their experience easier,” said Samantha Warren ’12, the current BAS president.
