Thinking about your next professional step? Get closer to your goals by making connections you can carry with you even when you’re off the Farm.
For students
Your SAA username
First things first: create your SAA username (it’s different from your SUNet!). You’ll use this to access the Alumni Directory, register for alumni events, join groups and more.
Alumni Directory
The industry you want to try, the conversation you want to have, the colleagues you want to meet—achieve your goals with the help of the Alumni Directory.

Share jobs and event opportunities on our private LinkedIn group exclusively for Stanford students and alumni. Students can automatically join with their alumni.stanford.edu email address.
