Skidmore Student Alumni Society

Who Are we?

SAS was founded in 1985 and originally known as the Pacesetters. The Student Alumni Society functions to better connect current students and alumni in an effort to network, build relationships, and foster pride in Skidmore among the undergraduate community. We are members of the Association for Student Advancement Programs (ASAP) and attend yearly conferences as members of District II. SAS is funded by the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs as well as group-led fundraisers. We ask our members to represent the student body at a variety of Alumni Affairs functions and to also serve as student resources. As a member of SAS, one is able to take a leadership role in the group, build a resume, network with fantastic alumni, and make connections as a visible and engaged Skidmore student.

What do we do?
