All Black graduates and former students of UT are automatically members of the Associates.

UT Black Alumni Associates was created in 1984 to encourage Black alumni involvement in university affairs by:

• Participating in UT Alumni Association programs and activities
• Developing programs of special interest to Black alumni, faculty, staff and students
• Encouraging awareness of Black alumni, faculty, staff and student concerns
• Promoting greater financial participation by Black alumni
• Assisting in the recruitment of Black students to UT

A 12-member Board of Directors represents the UT Black Alumni Associates and meets semi-annually. Its elected officers include president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and chairperson of financial development. 

The Board works directly with Phyllis A. Moore, Director of UT Alumni Programs who serves as a liaison between the Associates and campus administration.  In 1985, BAA established the Black Alumni Associates Endowment and Scholarship Fund to be awarded every year for four years.
