penn alumni diversity alliance

The Penn Alumni Diversity Alliance mission is two-fold for alumni of color and LGBTQ alumni:

1) To foster and nurture the bonds that connect them to Penn and one another;
2) To encourage loyalty and participation within the larger alumni body.

Founded in 1999, ALA promotes the interests of Latino students and alumni. ALA encourages Latino alumni to avail themselves of Penn's resources for a lifetime of education and enrichment, while facilitating their re-connection to one another and the University community.


Founded in 2006, ANA promotes the interests and welfare of Native American alumni, strengthens and deepens friendships, encourages active recruitment and retention of Native faculty and students and furthers Penn's commitment to the advancement of Native American higher education.


Founded in 1982, with regional chapters in Philadelphia, New York, and Washington, DC, BAS encourages communication and cooperation among black alumni, black students, and the University community.


Founded in 1993, JBS is an organization comprised of diverse alumni leaders. These leaders, by power of their example, support and promote Penn's efforts to attract, encourage, and maintain a culturally diverse community of faculty, students, administrators, staff, and volunteers, thus enriching the University community as a whole. The society is named in honor of James Brister, an 1881 graduate of the Dental School, and the first-known minority graduate of the University of Pennsylvania.


Founded as an informal organization in 1984, PennGALA became an official part of the University's Alumni Society in 1999. PennGALA supports the family of Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender alumni and promotes their interests at Penn.


Founded in 2001, UPAAN is committed to developing and maintaining an international network for Asian Pacific Islander alumni and students. UPAAN's mission is to inspire, develop, and nurture the interests of its constituents with the University.
