What is the Student Alumni Association?

The Student Alumni Association is part of the Alumni Association Student Ambassadors Program. It’s membership-based and currently the fastest-growing student organization on campus with 3,000 students … and counting!

The 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 Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can you tell me more about the NC State Alumni Association app? You can download the app by going to the app store on your phone and searching “NC State Alumni.” You can use the app to access a mobile version of your membership card, view photos, keep up with social media and more.
  • I wasn’t able to make it to a T-shirt distribution. Can I still pick up my shirt? Student Alumni Association members can pick up their shirt at the Park Alumni Center at 2450 Alumni Drive from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Monday-Friday following a T-shirt distribution if they missed the event. Please be aware that certain sizes may run out, so it’s best to pick up your shirt as early as possible.

  • 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-serve basis.
