Our Mission

The Harvard Kennedy School Black Alumni Association serves and advances the shared interests of Black alumni, students, and the global HKS and Harvard community. We advocate for the Black community, build alumni networks, promote the accomplishments of our members, and create meaningful engagement and service opportunities for alumni.

Our Partnership with HKS

Collaborating with current HKS students, staff, and administrators is a HKS BAA priority. In addition to collaborations around programming and addressing student needs, we support donations to HKS to ensure the school has immediate resources to keep the school growing and innovating. Learn more (below) about how you can donate.

Our Commitment

“The BAA can serve as one of those places where HKS alumni, students, faculty, staff, and the administration can harness their efforts, together, to help HKS achieve its great purpose and policy leadership.”

— Rudy Brioché, HKS BAA President
