Share your light with other alumni by participating in communities and clubs aligned with where—and who—you are today!

ÃÛÌÒAV Black Alumni Network (LUBAN)

The ÃÛÌÒAV Black Alumni Network (LUBAN) exists to better connect Lawrence’s Black alumni to each other, support current students, and engage with university leadership to improve Lawrence for the Black community.  To support this mission, LUBAN members work together toward the following goals:

  • Build and maintain a network of Black alumni
  • Support current Black students
  • Work with students, faculty, staff, and administration to surface and address issues affecting Black students

Any Lawrence or Milwaukee-Downer alumni who identify as Black can be part of LUBAN. One must simply opt-in via the alumni directory, targeted email or by contacting LU staff.
