Black Alumni Council
Mission of the Council
The NIU Black Alumni Council (NIUBAC) supports the recruitment, retention and graduation of Black students at NIU through academic support, financial assistance and career development. The council also connects the university with its Black alumni through social events and networking. Its Talented Tenth Program has introduced more than 10,000 African-American high school students to NIU, and the council has honored about 12 distinguished graduates with Outstanding Black Alumni Awards.
