The Student Alumni Ambassadors (SAA) comprises of student leaders at the University of Kansas who serve as the official student voice for the KU Alumni Association. Our mission is to foster positive relationships among students, alumni, faculty, and staff through celebrating Jayhawk traditions, cultivating philanthropic engagement, and connecting students to alumni.
The Student Alumni Ambassador (SAA) program offers KU students exclusive opportunities to enhance their leadership skills through diverse engagements with a range of audiences, all while serving as distinguished representatives of both the KU Alumni and Endowment Associations. Student Alumni Ambassadors will serve, network, and evolve during their tenure serving in this leadership role.
The Flying Jayhawks Program welcomes anyone interested in travel; graduates, former students, families and friends. You need not hold a KU degree to travel with the Flying Jayhawks, but you must be a member of the KU Alumni Association.
