ways to get involved

All UNC Charlotte Black, African-American, and African Alumni are members of the Black Alumni Chapter and there are a lot of different ways to get involved!

• Board Member: BAC Board applicants go through an application and brief interview process. Upon selection for the Board, members serve 3 year terms, participate on committees, assist with event planning and development, and volunteering at events. 
• Committee Volunteer: Not ready to serve as a Board member? Not a problem! Join one of the BAC committees and assist with event planning and development. 
• Event Volunteer: If you are looking for a one-and-done easy volunteer opportunity, sign up to receive notifications on volunteer shifts at BAC events! 
• Enthusiastic Supporter & Attendee: If you don’t have the time to volunteer but want to support the BAC, you can share information on BAC events and scholarships to your networks, and when you can – register and attend BAC events! 
• Donate: The Black Alumni Chapter has a needs-based scholarship that awards one student each year. With your financial support the BAC Scholarship can look toward awarding an additional student!
