Alumni
With more than 30,000 alums around the world, the SAIC alum community is a thriving network of individuals who are making an impact on their communities and the world.
The mission of the Alumni Engagement team is to foster involvement with SAIC in ways that serve the interests and needs of alums and the School. We acknowledge and embrace alums as vital stakeholders of the institution and value the contributions they make to SAIC, the world of art and design, and to each other's creative lives.
The Alumni Engagement Team works to:
• Enhance pride among alums at SAIC
• Provide networking opportunities for alums to connect with one another and remain connected to the School
• Facilitate ways in which alums can give back to the School and the SAIC community
