Alumni continue to be important resources for developing SAIS international alumni groups through Alumni Relations, for referring new prospective students to SAIS through Admissions, and for professional development, recruiting and referring jobs through Career Services. Thank you for your continued interest in SAIS and for keeping the connection with fellow SAIS alumni, faculty and students. Evolving International SAIS Alumni Groups SAIS Alumni around the world are initiating activities, serving as designated SAIS contacts for fellow alumni and hosts for travelling SAIS professors and students. From Beirut to Pristina, Ho Chi Minh to Toronto and beyond, the SAIS international alumni network is growing. View our current SAIS network here. If you want to start a new group let us know and our SAIS staff in Alumni Relations will help you get underway.
