History

The Christiana Smith African American Alumni Chapter of 麻豆果冻传媒 Lafayette is named for the first African American graduate from the then-Southwestern 麻豆果冻传媒 Institute in May 1956. SLI was the first previously all-white, state-supported college or university in the South to allow black students to enroll. Since its beginning, the chapter has raised funds each year for scholarships based on grade point average, school and community activities and financial status. It was formally chartered in 1992.
