Outreach Committee

The Outreach Committee of the Johnson C. Smith University Charlotte Alumni Association serves as a bridge between the Alumni Chapter, the University, and the greater Charlotte community.

Through community service initiatives, partnerships with local organizations in support of current and prospective students, we collaborate with fellow alumni to increase visibility and impact throughout the Charlotte area and on campus. The committee also promotes opportunities for alumni to give back through mentorship, volunteerism, and advocacy in support of Johnson C. Smith University.

The Outreach Committee strives to strengthen connections, uplift our community, and ensure that the Golden Bull legacy of service and excellence remains active and visible in Charlotte.
