  • Participating in recruitment activities and fostering the successful matriculation of students committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion

  • Strengthening relationships among students, alumni, and the College community, with a focus on cultural identity and belonging

  • Providing scholarship assistance, career mentoring, and cultural advocacy through alumni networking, volunteer involvement, and social impact initiatives
