What
is the Student Alumni Association (SAA)?
SAA is a Duluth Campus club that provides a link between St. Scholastica
students and alumni. Our mission is to create a community between these
two groups by sponsoring on-campus events, networking opportunities, and
promoting alumni giving. It also fosters a link between the student body and
the St. Scholastica Alumni Association Board of
Directors.
