Nominate an alum for distinction
- Student Alumni Association Leadership Team: Alumni Impact Certificate of Distinction

This certificate showcases the importance of alumni volunteerism and the idea of "Ducks helping Ducks" by highlighting the positive impact student-alumni connections can make. If you know of an alum who has volunteered their time in supporting students through mentorship, engaging with students at networking events at the UO, and/or creating opportunities for students to reach their career goals, nominate them today!
- What is SAALT? SAALT is a student internship program that runs the Student Alumni Association and its programs. SAALT aims to create connections between fellow ducks at all stages of flight through student activities and student-alumni networking events.
