STUDENT ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Students Helping Students--Past, Present, and Future
Mission:
To promote pride in Monmouth University, to build student awareness of
campus tradition, and to strengthen the bond between former and current
students.
Proposal:
To create an organization of student leaders to follow the above mission
and be the campus liaisons between current undergraduates and alumni.
The members of this organization will be actively recruited and selected.
They will assume the role of student-leaders and campus role models.
Outcome:
The desired outcome is to create a campus environment that respects and
appreciates the fact that the relationship between Monmouth University
and the individual is ongoing throughout each person’s lifetime.
Graduation is only the beginning of this journey.
Background:
Members of the Student Alumni Association (SAA) are an integral
component of the Monmouth University Alumni Association. The priorities
of the Student Alumni Association are to increase student participation
through strengthening the ties to the university and to develop current
students as future alumni.
The Student Alumni Association is part of a student network with over 100 groups on
campuses nationwide. At Monmouth University, it is composed of selected students
whose main purpose is to promote pride and tradition on campus, and to strengthen the
bonds between alumni and current students. Responsibilities include participating in
homecoming and Reunion weekend events and acting as student hosts for alumni
events.
Membership to the SAA is limited. The selection process will include a written
application, an interview and a review by administrative staff and current members of
the organization.
Responsibilities of an SAA member are:
1)
Completion of a one-time application and interview process.
2)
Commitment to attend monthly meetings.
3)
Participation in at least one SAA committee.
4)
Commitment and dedication to the purpose and goals of the Student Alumni
Association.

Participation in at least two SAA events/projects per semester in addition to
homecoming.

Absence from two monthly or committee meetings without a legitimate excuse
and/or failure to live up to the commitment made will result in dismissal from the
committee and loss of membership
