The NIU Student Alumni Association is the only organization on campus that gives students the opportunity to network with hundreds of alumni at dozens of upscale Alumni Association events throughout the year. Helping students to succeed not only at NIU, but also as alumni after graduation is the greatest aim of the organization. Students apply the lessons they have learned in the classroom during real-life networking opportunities available through the SAA. The tools and resources that the SAA has to offer have helped its members to earn internships, launch careers, and receive scholarships.
