Charlotte Student Alumni Society Promotes Fellowship And Is A Prominent Leadership Program
In the 1980s, students and alumni began discussing the need for a student group to serve as liaisons between students and alumni. From that conversation, the Student Ambassadors program, now known as the Student Alumni Society, was created in 1982 with the intent to promote loyalty and fellowship among UNC Charlotte students, alumni, and administrators.
