Founded in 1976, the Cornell Black Alumni Association (CBAA) was conceived as an organization devoted to providing a communication network for Black alumni. CBAA's current mission is to promote the professional development of Black alumni; to provide opportunities for alumni to "give back" to the Cornell community; to provide support for current Black students at Cornell through the endowment of scholarships and the development of other resources; and to aid in maintaining the diversity of the student body at Cornell by assisting the University in its recruitment efforts.

CORNELL BLACK ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

May 2012

Hello CBAA Family,

I greet you with great enthusiasm and excitement for all the initiatives that we are continuing on behalf of Cornell Black alumni and students.

The Pre-Reunion events have been fantastic. All across the country Cornellians are gathering to kick off our Reunion event. I can't wait to see you all in Ithaca beginning June 7th. Please see our Reunion link on this website for more information.

In addition, the CBAA Executive Board Elections will take place at the General Body Meeting on June 9th at 8:30 a.m. at the Reunion. All of the information regarding nominated candidates, election process and voting can be found on this website under the link "CBAA Elections". I hope you all participate and vote!

Here is a reminder of the five initiatives that the current board outlined as priorities.

Reimaging Cornell to include a racially diverse student, faculty, staff and engaged alumni population.

Addressing the academic gaps that are prevalent within the Cornell Black student communities, particularly addressing issues facing Black males.

Providing opportunites for professional development and career advancement for our young, middle and older alumni populations experiencing job transitions.

Providing a 21st century communication model.

Fundraising for the CBAA scholarships including the newly endowed James and Janice Turner Scholarship.

We have met our objectives and I look forward to passing the mantle to another group of amazing volunteer leaders. I will see you on the hill in a few weeks!

All Best, Jonelle Bradshaw de Hernandez

Historical Fact:

By the 1890s there were several African American Cornellians. The first bachelor's degrees to African American students at the university were awarded in 1897 and 1898. In 1906, Alpha Phi Alpha, the first national college fraternity for African Americans, was founded in Ithaca by seven Cornell students.
