The Student Alumni Ambassador (SAA) program was created by the office of Alumni Relations to provide a liaison with past, present and future members of the University. It offers qualified students an opportunity to meet other students from various cultural backgrounds, majors and social interests while, at the same time, helping to foster and develop valuable relationships among alumni, other students, faculty and staff. Through this activity, Ambassadors gain experience and exposure while sharing their knowledge of the University and describing how it has enriched their own lives. With fewer than 30 members, the SAA is an elite organization.
Mission
Student Alumni Ambassadors foster and promote the development of relationships between alumni and the entire University community -- as well as with other students, faculty and staff -- and emphasize the benefits and rewards of philanthropy.

Duties of a Student Alumni Ambassador
- Serve as campus representatives to alumni, students, parents and friends.
- Serve alumni and prospective students and their parents during campus tours.
- Answer questions about academic programs, student activities and campus life.

Events
There are many events throughout the year -- gatherings of alumni, friends, parents, community members and prospective students -- at which Ambassadors provide briefings about the University, its accomplishments, plans and programs. Some are formal occasions, such as Commencement Eve and Celebration of Philanthropy. Others, such as Fall Festival activities, may be more casual.
These events are held at venues such as Allen House, Alumni Hall, the Inn & Conference Center, the Bellegarde Boathouse, the Campus Recreation Center, the Tsongas Center or at any of the University’s many new buildings and facilities.
