Minority Alumni Advisory Board



Started in the fall of 2008, the Minority Alumni Advisory Board was created to provide Fuqua a formal structure for nurturing, growing, and capitalizing on the resources of the underrepresented minority community.*

*The Fuqua School of Business recognizes underrepresented minorities as being of African American, Hispanic American, or Native American or as being permanent United States residents who identify themselves as being of African or Hispanic descent.


Members of the Minority Alumni Advisory Board gather in November 2009.
