The Student Alumni Association (SAA) serves as a bridge between current undergraduate students and the BU Alumni Association. SAA hosts signature annual events like the Beanpot Bash, the Connect for Success series, and the Summer Socials, along with engaging pop-up programs such as Coffee Chats with alumni, Game Night, Fall Fright Night, and more. See our upcoming events!
Who can join?
SAA events are open to all undergraduate students. If you’d like to volunteer or become part of the SAA Leadership Council, fill out the interest form. Note: If you’re already an alum and looking to connect with current students, we encourage you to do so via BU Connects—an online career platform exclusively for the BU community.
Why attend SAA events?
Meet fellow students, connect with young and seasoned alumni, and learn professional networking skills that will help you throughout your career.
