Eight students have been selected to serve as new Student Alumni Ambassadors (SAA) at Coastal Carolina University.

The group, comprised of 28 students, assists in alumni events and provides an opportunity for student leaders to network in the community.

Newly-inducted SAAs are Maggie Garrett, a junior in art studio from Greenwood, S.C.; Rachel Hillard, a junior in marine science from Leesburg, Va.; Ryan Kelly, a sophomore in political science from Westborough, Mass.; Alex Klaus, a senior in management from Lindberg, Germany; Lindsey Krager, a freshman from Springfield, Ill.; Kevin McCarthy, a junior in history from Conway, S.C.; Janaé Mitchell, a senior in Spanish and marketing from Mount Pleasant, S.C.; and Alison St. Clair, a junior in marketing from Vinton, Va.

SAA was established in 1998 as a team of student leaders who serve as liaisons between alumni and undergraduates. The organization cultivates leadership, interest and enthusiasm for future generations of alumni that will result in a stronger, more unified alumni body.
