SC State University National Alumni Association to host annual convention

The South Carolina State University National Alumni Association (SCSUNAA) will host its 2025 National Alumni Convention from July 31– Aug. 3 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Charlotte Concord Golf Resort & Spa.

With the theme “Bulldog Excellence Amplified: True to the Garnet and Blue,” the fourday event will unite SCSU alumni and supporters from across the country for connection, celebration, and strategic investment in the University’s future.

The National Alumni Convention serves as a key moment for Bulldogs to come together in support of South Carolina State University. The 2025 program will feature professional development workshops, networking, alumni panels, cultural excursions, and a signature banquet honoring excellence and leadership in the SCSU community.

“The National Alumni Convention is more than a celebration—it’s a powerful expression of our collective pride and purpose as Bulldogs,” said Hank Allen, SCSUNAA president. “We’re excited to amplify Bulldog excellence in Charlotte and

carry forward our legacy with strength and unity.”

“This gathering reflects the heart and soul of South Carolina State—our committed alumni,” said Yolanda Williams, SCSUNAA president-elect. “Their passion and support fuel the momentum we’re building for the next generation of leaders.”
