The mission of the Student Alumni Association (S/AA) is to encourage current students to participate in the CC community, act as a liaison between students and alumni, and provide enriching opportunities for students to meet and cultivate relationships within the CC community. S/AA members educate and raise awareness among current students about the importance of giving back to CC, and promote an increase in overall student donations and participation. They strive to further engage students in the workings of the college while at CC so they can recognize their lifetime relationship to the college.
Alumni were students and students will be alumni. The members
of S/AA strive to further involve students in the workings
of the college while at CC so they can recognize their lifetime
relationship to the college.
Membership
We want you to be a part of S/AA! Membership in S/AA is
open to any interested Colorado College student. Members
of the Colorado College Student Alumni Association have
the opportunity to become leaders on campus. Each year various
positions need to be filled with responsible officers, but
all involved have the opportunity to learn more about how
Colorado College functions beyond their personal student
life experience. S/AA involves the entire Colorado College
community, consistently educating its members about something
they are part of for the rest of their lives.
Activities
The AppreCCiate Scholarship- The NEWEST addition to the S/AA program is the AppreCCiate Scholarship, a completely student funded scholarship for another student who otherwise would not be able to afford to come to CC. In conjunction with the Annual Fund, S/AA students raise awareness about the importance of student giving and raise funds for the new scholarship. AppreCCiate was created by the students for the students. Photo Gallery
Legacy Reception - S/AA kicks off the school year by
hosting incoming first year and transfer students whose
parents or grandparents attended Colorado College. Photo Gallery
Adopt a Student Program- S/AA works with the Colorado
College Alumni Club to match interested first year students
with sponsor hosts in Colorado Springs. These local volunteers
are a valuable resource to many CC students and S/AA hosts
both a fall picnic and a winter party for all involved.
Homecoming- S/AA plays a key role in planning and
implementing a successful Homecoming Weekend in October
including sponsoring "Helping HungeRR", a student community service event, TigerWalk, All-Campus Picnic, and decorating for the dance. Photo Gallery
New Faces- Each year, S/AA students edit a photograph
composite book of the incoming first year class. These books
provide tremendous CC memories!
Alumni Events and Speakers- S/AA members attend
local and regional alumni functions. We assist the Office
of Alumni Relations with numerous events, including Fifty
Year Club festivities and the Alumni Leadership Forum.
