About

Invest in the Legacy of the SIU Black Alumni Group This Day of Giving

Since 1988, the Black Alumni Group (BAG) has been a driving force in strengthening the SIU experience for students, alumni, faculty, and staff of Black African descent. Through mentorship, scholarships, recruitment, and career development, BAG keeps alive the professional, social, and educational relationships that began at SIU and continue to make an impact far beyond campus.

Your support helps ensure that the next generation of Black Salukis not only comes to SIU but thrives here—benefiting from guidance, financial assistance, and a network of dedicated alumni. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a tangible difference in opening doors, building futures, and celebrating the rich traditions that connect us.

This Day of Giving, stand with us. Join fellow Salukis in investing in opportunities that empower, uplift, and inspire for years to come.
