Independent schools have a diverse range of experienced alumni who also have strong relationships with the schools they attended. As a part of BLISS, the Alumni Advising Committee aims to empower by developing connections and shared insight between Black alumni and students of independents schools. Throughout the year, alumni are involved in numerous workshops, events, mentorship opportunities, and conversations with the goal of becoming a dependable point of contact for student participants. Whether you are just graduating or you are a long-term alumni, we would love for you to become part of our team.
We are currently accepting applications for the Alumni Advisor role. Please email contact@blissummit.org for more information.
