SAA
Study Hours 

The SAA hosts the SAA study hours at the Auburn Alumni Center during finals week at the end of each semester. This is special privilege to SAA members. This is especially beneficial to those who would prefer the privacy and seclusion of the alumni center versus the crowds and distractions that occur at other locations on campus during finals week.  

One of the biggest events of the spring semester is It’s a Practical World. This event offers a chance for juniors and seniors to get real world advice from working professionals. The title comes from a line in The Auburn Creed. We bring in people to speak to SAA members about budgeting, building credit, insurance, and transitioning into the professional realm of the working world. It is a great opportunity to get practical advice that you can’t get from a lecture or classroom.
