The UW Oshkosh Student Alumni Ambassadors (SAA) are a vital link between current campus life and University alumni and friends. It is an organization dedicated to promoting UW Oshkosh and building pride among fellow students, alumni and the community. Members of SAA come from a variety of backgrounds and possess a multitude of experiences.

Benefits

Although there are many benefits for serving as an ambassador, many students share that the intrinsic reward of giving back to the University and fellow students has been most important to them. Other rewards associated with being selected as a SAA member are:

  • Certificate from the Director of Alumni Relations recognizing your contribution to the University.
  • Networking with business professionals from a multitude of professions.
  • Developing necessary professional skills applicable to post-graduation life.
  • Demonstrating leadership roles that can be a key resume builder.
  • Opportunity to develop a relationship with members of the administration.
  • A shirt identifying you as a member of the Student Alumni Ambassadors.
  • Attend special events, where food is served, at no charge.

Expectations

SAA members immerse themselves in the campus scene, attending many University events and networking with professionals. You may find them mingling in a crowd, hosting a table of guests, providing tours or speaking positively about the UW Oshkosh experience. But, most importantly, they help keep alumni in touch with University happenings and ensure students are aware of their roles as future alumni.

Events to Host and Attend

SAA members will be expected to attend scheduled group meetings and serve at Alumni Relations sponsored events..

 

Projects

SAA members have a number of independent projects each year that require assistance from other members. Ambassadors will be expected to assist with one such project per year. These projects could include the organization of a new campus-wide event or recruitment of new SAA members.
