Alumni of Color

Connecticut College Alumni of Color (CCAC) was established in 2007 to reach out to alumni, faculty, and current students of color.

CCAC plays an important role in the College's diversity efforts - providing networking among alumni and offering a support network for students. The group also keeps alumni tied to Unity House, the College's multicultural center.

CCAC alumni are involved in activities of the Alumni Association and the College at large. They facilitate and promote awareness of the needs of alumni and students of color. Upcoming events include:

Induction Ceremony, Saturday, May 17

6 p.m. Join us for a cocktail reception in the Faculty Lounge in the Blaustein Humanities Center for graduating students and their families to welcome them into CCAC. Please let us know if you can attend by e-mailing rsvp@conncoll.edu by May 12. Please reference the date of the event when responding.
