"To bridge the gap between Students, Alumni and the Community by shedding light on the treasures and traditions of Winthrop University."
The Winthrop Alumni Association established the Student Alumni Council (SAC) in 1984 to stimulate the interest and
participation of students in the progress of the university and to preserve and further
the feeling of loyalty and fellowship between the university, students, community
and alumni.
SAC fosters a desire among students to support the university and concern for its
well-being; educates students on the purposes, benefits and activities of the Alumni
Association; shows students ways in which they can support the University following
graduation; identifies specific needs of students as they prepare for graduation to
assist them in making the transition from students to alumni; develops and implements
service-oriented programs, which will enable students to contribute to the efforts
of the Alumni Association, University Advancement, other campus departments, and the
community; and engages and educates students and the campus community in the history
and traditions of the University.
From freshmen move-in day through graduation, SAC members serve as the resident "tradition
keepers" who promote the spirit, history and tradition of Winthrop and provide opportunities
for students to develop into active, engaged citizens and future alumni. Events that
SAC hosts include:
The Executive Committee, composed of Senior SACers, provides strategic direction and guidance to the organization. These informed and engaged campus leaders serve as ambassadors and committee chairs on behalf of the organization and university.
