There are more than 30,000 Black alumni of the eight Ivy League institutions. However, as a group we have never congregated, met to share our stories, addressed the challenges, or leveraged the opportunities of Black alumni and the diaspora as a collective brain trust. In September 2012 that will change. This gathering will serve as the major Black academic and professional event of the year.
