Cultivating Culture, Commitment, and Community
Nearly three dozen Black and African American alumni stepped forward to create the Black Alumni Network in 2020. With a focus on strengthening the Episcopal community and supporting its students and alumni alike, Judellia Cole ’99, Aliyah Griffith ’11, Louis Tambue ’17, and Blair Taylor ’99 crafted the organization's mission statement.
“Our goal is to empower current students and alumni through mindful engagement, networking, advocacy, and mentorship in order to create a community of alumni that not only embodies the EHS principles of moral courage, courageous action, and intellectual courage but also engages the EHS community at large, fostering cultural awareness.”Rick Wilcox |
The network represents an exciting opportunity to build and strengthen relationships with and among Episcopal’s Black alumni, and to find ways to better support Black students during their time on the Hill as well upon their entry to college and careers. If you are interested in learning more about the network, please contact Rick Wilcox.
