SAA Is Here for Undergrads

You don’t have to wait until graduation to be part of the Stanford alumni community. The Stanford Alumni Association (SAA) is here for you with student events, opportunities to meet alumni, paid campus jobs, career connections, a volunteer student-alumni council, and a peek into the Stanford traditions you won’t want to miss before you graduate.

Your Starter Pack

Here’s what’s available to all students, no diploma required.

We Are Nerd Nation

We love students, and we show it with our signature Nerd Nation T-shirt. This fall’s giveaways are done, but follow our Instagram so you’re first in line next time. Can’t wait? Browse the Stanford Alumni Fan Shop.

What Are TREEditions?

Stanford traditions are everywhere, and we’ll help you find them. Our TREEditions poster rounds up the ones you shouldn’t miss before you graduate. Download it, print it, and start checking them off, or grab a copy at one of our events.

Be a Part of the Biggest Alumni Party

Every fall, alumni come back “home” for four days of reconnecting and celebrating, and SAA hires hundreds of undergrads to help make it happen. You’ll work alongside fellow students, meet alumni, and be part of the making of this treasured Stanford tradition. This is a temp paid position.

Applications open in the fall quarter.

Have Your Best Summer at Stanford

Spend your summer at Stanford Sierra Camp, just outside South Lake Tahoe. You’ll get paid, live on site with a crew of fellow students, and spend your days running activities for alumni families. This is a full-time paid position.

Four Years, Four Traditions.

From Nerd Nation tees to campus meetups, here’s what’s happening.

Your ’30 Class Tee

Frosh

Show your class pride! Every year SAA makes a free custom tee for the incoming class, complete with the class diamond. This year’s design came out of our second annual student design contest, and we handed it out at the NSO Class Photo on September 18. We hope to see you wearing yours all over campus.

Now Playing: AlumNites

Sophmores

AlumNites brings local alumni into your dining hall for dinner and conversation with a small group of sophomores. They’ll share stories about their time at Stanford and where it led them, so you can hear about opportunities on campus and career paths you might never have considered. Come curious. These run in winter and spring quarters, so watch your inbox for the invitation.

Junior Dinner off the Farm (JDOTF)

Juniors

Over winter and spring quarters, head “off the Farm” with a small group of juniors for a casual meal with classmates and a local alum host or two. The dinners are free, spots are limited, and they often fill within days. Sign up as soon as your invitation arrives. Invitations go out Week 3, with dinners on select days during Week 6.

Commencement Events

Seniors

Celebrate everything you’ve done here. The weeks before Commencement bring a run of events to help you mark the milestone and get ready for the day itself, capped by Senior Dinner on the Quad. It’s an evening of food and dancing, and one last hurrah with your class before you go.
