Greetings, MSUBA Family,

 

It's an honor to serve as the 15th national president. Welcome to the official website of Michigan State Black Alumni, Incorporated. MSUBA was founded 45 years ago on October 28, 1981, by founders Lural Baltimore, Betty Ezell, Veda Dove-Washington, and the late Terry (Curly) Young.

 

As I reflect on my own time at Michigan State University, I'm filled with fond memories of late-night study sessions in the library, Friday at Kedzie Hall, cheering on our Spartans, and celebrating graduation with friends. These shared experiences bind us together as MSU alumni, and I'm so proud to be part of this incredible community. Our national and local chapters provide a platform for us to reconnect with old friends, make new connections, and relive cherished memories. Our alumni network is a powerful force for good, and I'm continually inspired by the incredible work our members are doing in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/Ft Worth, Detroit, Lansing, Los Angeles, Oakland County, Saginaw, and Washington, DC. 

 

I invite you to join us in making a positive impact under the theme Building Bridges of Resilience. I encourage you to join a local chapter, volunteer on a national committee, mentor recent graduates, attend fundraising events, and donate to MSUBA. Any contribution will help advance the mission of MSUBA.

 

Together, we can ensure that future generations of Michigan State University students have even more opportunities than we did. 

 

Stay tuned for upcoming events and initiatives by visiting our website/social media pages. 

​

GO GREEN !!
