Alumni

With more than 30,000 alumni representing over 80 countries, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s alumni community is a powerful network of artists, designers, scholars, innovators, and cultural leaders across disciplines and industries.

The mission of Alumni Engagement is to cultivate lifelong connections that amplify the collective impact of SAIC alumni and advance the School's role as a global catalyst for creativity, critical inquiry, and social change.

Rooted in SAIC's 160-year legacy of experimentation, interdisciplinary thinking, and individual creative vision, we champion a vibrant alumni community that connects people, ideas, and opportunities across generations and geographies. We celebrate alumni achievements, foster meaningful collaboration, and create pathways for alumni to contribute to the future of SAIC and the creative fields it influences.

The Office of Alumni Engagement works to:

• Strengthen our global network of alumni through regular events, communications, and volunteer opportunities.
• Foster meaningful connections between SAIC community members (including alums, students, faculty, and partners) from across different industries, generations, and regions around the world.
• Elevate alumni voices, accomplishments, and perspectives as essential to SAIC's future and influence.
• Create opportunities for lifelong learning, mentorship, collaboration, and professional growth.
• Inspire alumni participation in advancing SAIC's mission through advocacy, volunteerism, philanthropy, and community engagement.
