Between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., come by to join or renew your membership at one of the three locations — Union Mall, Brough Commons or Walton Shollmier Plaza.

The Student Alumni Association is the student chapter of the Arkansas Alumni Association. As the largest student organization on campus, SAA aims to preserve traditions, connect students to alumni, and engage students on campus. Its goal is to turn a students' four-year experience into a lifelong connection to the University of Arkansas, says Ryan Miller, associate director of student and young alumni outreach. Membership includes unique networking opportunities like Hearing from a Hog Dinners, exclusive giveaways such as BEAT Shirts, and member discounts including the University Bookstore, Starbucks, Puritan Brew and Fayettechill. An entire year's membership is only $20 and includes an exclusive member T-shirt.

Members of the Class of 2017 and graduating Graduate Students can become members of the Arkansas Alumni Association for a special discounted rate of just $35 for the first year.

Members can join a network of over 140,000 Arkansas alumni and strengthen their connection to campus through events, ARKANSAS magazine and @Arkansas monthly e-newsletter.
