UC Merced's Student Alumni Association (SAA) is a student group on campus dedicated to upholding UC Merced's ideals.

Here at UC Merced, we believe that every student is a future alumnus/a. Our goal is to instill a culture of philanthropy with our students that will continue long into their lives as alumni. 

All SAA members are asked to make a $10 membership contribution at the time of their joining. Learn more.

SAA members receive many benefits as members including opportunities to network with UC alumni at special events, opportunities to promote philanthropy on campus, and special discounts at over 85 local businesses through our CATSPOTS program.
