Student Alumni Association

“… No one of all the sentiments with which we are governed is so productive of happiness as Philanthropy.” – Josiah F. Kennedy, Class of 1855

The Student Alumni Association (SAA) provides an opportunity for students to learn and educate their peers about the importance of philanthropy, and to lead engagement activities that enhance students’ understanding and raise support for the Dickinson Fund throughout the academic year.
