My senior year, I had the opportunity to participate in the SAiL conference.
What is your favorite thing about the alumni?

What is your favorite memory about being an alumni member?
I wanted to become an alumni member to give back to the organization and its members. Someone did it for me when I was a student member, and I wanted to carry that honor when I became an alumni of making sure every member feels significant, valued, and included
