Benefits of Joining SAC
Personal and Professional Development
Fall and Spring Retreat
Our year kicks off with the fall semester retreat where members can interact outside of Athens, participate in team-building activities and learn more about the expectations of being in SAC. Our spring semester retreat allows members to reconnect, to measure progress toward goals and to strengthen relationships with one another.
Project Coordination
SAC members serve within one of five committees during the academic year. Every committee member is an integral part of our core programming, providing students the opportunity to learn how to manage projects in a team setting.
Leadership
While tabling at student activities fairs, new student orientations and resource fairs throughout the academic year, the Student Alumni Council interacts with fellow students, promotes a culture of giving and publicizes upcoming events. Each volunteer is expected to serve at least 50 hours a semester, so SAC knows what it means to lead by example!
Networking Opportunities
Alumni Networks
When you join SAC, you join a family of Bulldogs that are committed to one another and to our university. SAC members have the opportunity to meet talented UGA volunteers that serve on the Alumni Board of Directors, Black Alumni Leadership Council, Latino Alumni Council, Young Alumni Leadership Council and Women of UGA.
40 Under 40
SAC members have the opportunity to attend 40 Under 40, an alumni event that recognizes 40 alumni under the age of 40 for their professional and philanthropic achievements. Aside from being an incredible networking opportunity, SAC volunteers to help ensure the event is a success.
Bulldog 100
SAC members attend Bulldog 100, a program that celebrates the 100 fastest-growing businesses owned or led by alumni. SAC serves as volunteer support for the event, speakers, and as a point of contact for VIPs and campus administrators.
