46 | STEVENS STUDENT HANDBOOK Alumni Association Belonging Resources and Support The Stevens Alumni Association (SAA) was formed to establish, maintain, and cultivate among its members a sentiment of regard for one another and of attachment to Stevens Institute of Technology, and to promote in every way the interests of the institute. The SAA serves Stevens alumni across the globe by organizing reunions, sharing benefits, spreading news and more. Graduates of the undergraduate and graduate programs of Stevens are automatically enrolled as members. Stevens is committed to creating a supportive and inclusive campus environment for all students, faculty, and staff members. The Office of Student Culture and Belonging serves as the hub for supportive services, resources, and educational programming related to belonging. We continually work to ensure that the campus feels welcoming and supportive to all students, and we encourage feedback and suggestions as we continue to offer resources and programming. We welcome you to visit our office in the University Center or contact [email protected].
