mission
statement
The JUST Black Alumni Association seeks to foster empowerment and community between Black alumni, current students, and faculty with a focus on the institution’s continued commitment to offer equitable and inclusive conservatory training to students of the African diaspora.
JBAA’s mission is to affirm and uplift the voice of the Black artist, promote a holistic learning environment devoid of anti-Blackness and Eurocentric bias, and maintain a vibrant network of Black alumni all over the world who, through passionate engagement with the formed community, work to preserve the legacy of the Black student at the institution we chose to attend.
