Executive Board members and Ambassadors participate in leadership development events and activities throughout their term.
Mentorship
The FSU Alumni Association offers an exclusive mentoring program to SAA members! Students involved in SAA have the opportunity to be matched with a mentor on our National Board of Directors or Young Alumni Council. Using the ProfessioNole Mentors platform, members are able to keep track of their goals, conversations, and progress with their mentors.
When asked for feedback on the mentoring program, a previous participant shared, “[Through the Mentoring Program,] I was able to meet someone who I truly looked up to and had my best interest at heart”.
