The Student Alumni Advisory Board (SAAB) was created in the fall of 2008 with two major goals: first, to encourage student involvement with the Alumni Association before graduation, and second, to help the Alumni Association coordinate its programs involving students. SAAB is currently co-chaired by Lee Strasburger '10 and Susan Foster '11.
