Programs

• BAA Mentorship Program: The BAA Mentorship Program strives to create a more tailored experience for students and alumni seeking identity-based mentorship. We understand that students might seek a more personal, impactful relationship, preferably with someone who looks like them or who has similar career or life experiences. We hope this program provides that opportunity.
• Entrepreneurship Workshops: This program strives to give students and alumni a framework and tools for success when considering an entrepreneurial venture during and after college.
• Black-Alumni-Success Workshops: This program aims to help students and alumni navigate career paths, write resumes, build credit, create a retirement plan, and more.
• College Management Planning: This initiative aims to help students understand early in their college journey what they really want and to help them mitigate the risks of student loan debt, working while in school, and managing their priorities.
