Three names, one gift

The independent 501(c)(3) that receives, invests and distributes every private gift to SAU. Its name and logo appear on the gift form and on your receipt.

SAU Alumni Association

The alumni side of the house: reunions, chapters, Homecoming, Mulegating and the SAUAA scholarships. Funded by alumni gifts.
