Student Alumni Association Ambassadors

About the Student Alumni Association Ambassadors

The Student Alumni Association Ambassadors (SAAA) play a critical role in developing the next generation of engaged Wolfpack alumni.

Our Mission

The Student Alumni Association Ambassador Program instills leadership development while engaging the NC State community by fostering traditions. SAAA strives to provide opportunities for the active involvement of students and to promote a vibrant campus culture.

Our History

Founded in 2001, the program is funded by the NC State Alumni Association, the North Carolina State University License Plate Fund and private donations.

Today, the Student Alumni Association Ambassadors are a diverse group of 25 NC State students with varying backgrounds, interests and areas of study, but who share the same enthusiasm for being part of the Wolfpack family. The program is affiliated with the Association of Student Advancement Programs, an international nonprofit organization of more than 300 student ambassadors, student alumni, student spirit and student foundation groups. The Student Alumni Association Ambassadors serve as the official student ambassadors to the NC State Alumni Association and represents the Park Alumni Center at various functions throughout the year. Additionally, the program governs the Student Alumni Association, one of the largest student organizations on campus with more than 1,500 members.
