National Activity Organizations
The Alliance's mission is to provide a unifying voice about the value of student activity involvement and a network for sharing resources, information, and training opportunities through partnerships and joint ventures. We believe very strongly in the power of student activity involvement and want to provide advisors who work with any kind of student activity the tools to do a better job. Several national organizations exist that specialize in particular areas of student activities. If you are an advisor in any of these specialized fields, contact the appropriate organization for more information about the valuable resources and training they offer.
