The Black Alumni Group was established in 1988 as an official AA affiliate. BAG’s purpose is to keep alive professional, social and educational relationships developed within SIU’s Black community. A few of the programs your BAG membership supports include:

*Short-term emergency loans
*Scholarship opportunities for current SIU students
*Development and support of BAG and its activities
*Homecoming and member appreciation events
*The Student Alumni Council
*The award-winning Extern Program for current SIU students

Biennially, in odd-numbered years, BAG hosts a reunion in July. A myriad of social, educational and athletic events are scheduled during the reunion weekend along with a business meeting and the election of officers. In 2005, we had discounted registration for BAG members for the first time.

Membership in BAG is open to all alumni (graduates and past students) and friends who are members of the SIU Alumni Association. Your membership directly benefits BAG -- we receive a portion of your dues for our scholarships, events (including the reunion), mailings, etc. Won't you help us reveal to the world the excellence of SIU by becoming a member today?
