Chapter President Clemontine Washington invites any Savannah State University alumnus or supporter in Liberty County or the surrounding area to consider joining what will be an active alumni organization (SSUNAA LC).

The Savannah State Alumni Association chapters are an extension of the national association and promote the university’s interests by serving as a liaison between the national organization and its alumni, students, and friends. The SSUNAA is a membership- based organization with chapters around the U.S. representing more than 25,000 alumni worldwide.

The mission of the Savannah State University National Alumni Association is to support the progress and the development of Savannah State University by actively engaging undergraduate students and all alumni, cultivating a culture of philanthropy amongst alumni, and spearheading initiatives to promote Savannah State University worldwide.
