Rooted in Legacy. Built for the Future.
The OU Black Alumni Association has championed connection, advancement, and community for generations of Sooners.
Why We Gather
The OU Black Alumni Association exists to strengthen the bond between Black graduates of the University of Oklahoma — connecting alumni across generations, industries, and geographies.
We believe that the relationships forged at OU carry lifelong value, and that gathering together — especially during milestone weekends like the Red River Rivalry — deepens those ties and opens new doors.
Our core values
Community
We build and sustain a network of Black Sooners who support one another personally and professionally.
Excellence
We honor the achievements of our alumni and hold a high standard for everything we do together.
Legacy
We invest in the next generation of Black students at OU, ensuring the path is wider for those who follow.
An Evening Built for Connection
This gathering is more than a social event — it is a deliberate space for Black alumni to reconnect, advance their networks, and celebrate a shared OU identity. Held ahead of the Red River Rivalry, the evening brings together alumni from across the country for one unforgettable night.
