  <body><![CDATA[<p>The Student Alumni Association (SAA) connects our students to an alumni network of over 140,000 through nationally acclaimed programs and on-campus events. As the largest student organization on campus, SAA offers programs suited for everyone. From 1-1 mentoring, small-group dinner conversation, life skills seminars, company tours, and talks given by experts in their fields, SAA presents a variety of opportunities to meet alumni who have been where our students are now. To join SAA students can make a $10 donation to the organization and become a member, students can then decide how involved they want to be in the organization versus other orgs that have mandatory meetings or commitments. Check out the <a href="http://www.gtsaa.com/s/1481/alumni/17/home.aspx?gid=39&amp;pgid=61">website</a> for more information on all events and how to encourage your students to join SAA.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
