The Alexander Twilight Legacy of Black Excellence
The Alexander Twilight Legacy of Black Excellence Lounge is an open, supportive community space for those dedicated to building a community and fostering a sense of belonging for ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½'s Black student Community.
Named for the first African-American to earn a bachelor’s degree from an American university or college (Middlebury in 1823), the space came to fruition through the diligent efforts of the Black Student Union and Sisters’ Circle. Their advocacy led to a number of meaningful changes to improve the experience of students campus-wide with one of these changes being the addition of a new space in the Student Union.
