SAA
serves as a liaison between St. Olaf alumni and current students
on the hill by providing educational and social events to
connect Oles to fellow Oles. As an advocacy group on the Executive
Branch of the St. Olaf Student Government Association (SGA),
it facilitates a variety of events throughout the year in
association with the Alumni and Parent Relations Office, the
Center for Experiential Learning, and the Office of Annual
Giving.
Current events include the annual Spring Law
Forum, Etiquette Dinner, and other special events including
mentoring, off-campus company visits, and hosting guest speakers
on-campus. These and many other events empower current Oles
to connect with Alumni to provide support and opportunities
in the world outside of St. Olaf.
Having representation in both Student Senate and the
St. Olaf Alumni Association Board of Directors, SAA strives
to make the St. Olaf student body aware of the thousands of
Ole alumni that play such an influential role and make up
such a large part of our community.
Current Student Alumni Association projects include
presenting the new Online Alumni Directory, developing a “Senior
Challenge” donation project, and working on a life-long
email forwarding system for alums, all in its goal to fulfill
the vision of providing every student with experiential learning
opportunities that relate to and complement the St. Olaf liberal
arts education.
