The selection process included an application and interview administered by ABAC Alumni Board members. Students selected must be in good academic standing and show leadership and teamworking skills. Advisors for this year's SAC include ABAC Alumni Director Lynda Fisher and Alumni and Development Coordinator Randi Hickman.

"The Student Alumni Council is a strategic part of the Alumni Association and is the liaison between ABAC alumni and the student body," Fisher said.         

SAC members participate in projects that serve alumni, students, faculty, and staff throughout the year. They assist in planning Homecoming and other alumni events such as Run for the Nurses and Evening for ABAC.
