The HBCU Alumni Engagement Summit invites speaker and session proposals inclusive of diverse perspectives and innovate approaches to alumni engagement and giving, as well as international outreach.
As a prelude to the inaugural For Alumni, By Alumni (FABA) Festival in Barbados, the invitation-only HBCU Alumni Engagement Summit, will take place June 14- 15 at the O2 Beach Club & Spa In Barbados.
This one-day summit will bring together HBCU vice presidents and directors of institutional advancement, development, alumni relations, external affairs and international outreach and programming, as well as national, regional, and local alumni association leaders to explore innovative approaches to increasing alumni engagement and giving at our beloved institutions, as well as opportunities to increase international alumni engagement and international student outreach.
The summit will offer a full day of sessions, panel discussions, and roundtables designed to exchange best practices, discuss emerging trends and share strategies that can be immediately implemented at participant institutions.
Registration is FREE. Deadline: May 19, 2023
The festival will also host the first HBCU College Fair in Barbados on June 17, 8 - 10 am, for high school students in Barbados and neighboring Caribbean islands. We invite all HBCU recruitment and/or alumni representatives to participate. Register your institution HERE.
