Greetings Cornell Black Alumni:

Please make plans to join your fellow CBAA alumni in Ithaca June 7-10 2012 to celebrate what will be remembered as the most phenomenal reunion weekend ever. 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.

In keeping with the CBAA mission, the 2012 Reunion committee has worked hard to put together a weekend of activities that will enable alumni to reconnect with one another and discover what is new at Cornell. Reunion attendees will gather to recognize significant milestones for African Americans at Cornell and in our nation. If your class year ends in "4" or "9" this is a significant chapter in your post-Cornell life. You will receive additional Reunion information from your class in a separate mailing.
