"Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart"

Donte Lloyd currently serves as the Treasurer of the UD Black Alumni Organization (UDBAO). He helps secure sponsorship for and attends the BAO’s annual tailgate at the Center for Black Culture as well as other UD events such as Celebration of Scholarships. In April 2023, Lloyd participated in a UD Admissions event as an alumni panelist.

Here’s why he gives back to UD:

It is my absolute privilege and honor to serve and lead a subset of the Blue Hen alumni community in an effort to promote connection, affinity and commitment to our beloved alma mater. One of the seven Kwanzaa principles is Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility). Many of us are well-decorated and established professionals in our respective fields because of what we learned in and outside of the classroom at UD! It is our responsibility to give back to the institution and community (specifically departments such as the Center for Black Culture and the Black American Studies Program) that helped shape who we are today.
