Student Alumni Association

What is the Student Alumni Association?

The Student Alumni Association (SAA) enhances a student’s campus experience while preparing them for life after graduation. Involvement in the Student Alumni Association puts students at the center of several NC State traditions, including Red and White Week and Ram Roasts, while also helping build lifelong relationships with fellow students and an engaged network of NC State alumni.

Why be a part of the Student Alumni Association?

The Student Alumni Association provides personal and professional mentorship benefits, including access to an alumni network, discounts at local businesses, opportunities for service and leadership, and a host of fun, exciting events throughout the year.

Student Alumni Association Benefits

T-shirts
Who doesn’t love a T-shirt? One of the greatest perks of SAA is free T-shirts. These exclusive tees are distributed before a variety of rival athletic events including football, basketball and baseball games. Supplies will be limited, so be on the lookout for notifications and be early.

Student Alumni Networking Events
Once a semester, you can enjoy a three-course meal with distinguished alumni who provide educational and career advice. Our Networking 101 course is available before the dinner so you can refresh your networking skills. Additionally, a Young Alumni mixer between students and young alumni is held in the spring semester.

Personal and Professional Development Activities
Throughout the year, SAA hosts multiple personal and professional development activities exclusive to students involved in SAA that will positively impact your future, including guest speakers and classes. Past activities have involved personal finances, résumé workshops, interview preparation, salary negotiation and more!

Student Alumni Association Frequently Asked Questions

• I wasn’t able to make it to a T-shirt distribution. Can I still pick up my shirt? Students in SAA who miss a T-shirt distribution event will be informed of an alternative date and location for picking up their shirt, if quantities are available. Please note that certain sizes may be limited, so it is recommended to collect your shirt as soon as possible since our T-shirts are first-come, first-served while supplies last.
• My roommate, a Student Alumni Association member, can’t make it to a T-shirt distribution. Can I pick up their shirt for them? No. Each member must attend a distribution event to pick up their shirt to be fair to those who do make it to the event.
• As a Student Alumni Association member, am I guaranteed every T-shirt each year? T-shirt supplies are limited and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis – no exceptions.
• I’m unable to make it to a T-shirt distribution. Can I pick up my shirt before the event? No. Early pick-ups are not permitted for T-shirt distributions. This ensures that everyone has an equal opportunity to get a shirt on a first-come, first-served basis.
