Black Alumni Weekend
The Black Alumni Council invites Black alumni and friends back to the Plains each spring for Black Alumn Weekend. Black Alumni Weekend is a three-day celebration focused on cultivating community through engaging social events and networking opportunities. It serves as a chance to celebrate the heritage, culture and legacy of Black alumni and forge the future for Black students at Auburn University.
