Student Alumni Association
Our Student Alumni Association (SAA) is a group of dedicated students that strive to serve our university community by connecting the past, present, and future. They are led by an executive board, consisting of 6 student leaders and a staff advisor. SAA is guided by three pillars: engagement, philanthropy, and education.
SAA members are involved in several efforts throughout the year to promote the three pillars. Some examples of these efforts are; conducting alumni campus tours, attending and hosting local and regional alumni and campus events, thank you note writing parties, visiting alumni, volunteering time with alumni, partnering with the Alumni & Development Office to put on the annual #TogetherForTransy, and campus engagement through education.
As a member of SAA students gain the opportunity to,
Leave their mark on campus by creating and sustaining Transy traditions

Support the philanthropic efforts of our alumni community
Learn and share the importance and impact of philanthropy on the Transylvania experience.
Students are focused on creating a bridge between alumni, donors, and students to enhance the student experience. We engage with alumni, educate students on the impact donors have on campus, and strive to create a culture of philanthropy.
