About Me

BareWalls 2007 was a Great event! The mission of Alumni Affairs is to encourage and foster alumni involvement in SAIC in ways that serve the interests and needs of alumni and the School. We acknowledge and embrace alumni as vital stakeholders of the institution and value the contributions they make to the School, the world of art and design and to each other’s creative lives.
We look forward to meeting more members of the SAIC Alumni community and hope you will join in our Alumni events and programs!
