About Us!
Who We Are
Engineering Student Alumni Ambassadors (ESAA) plans and hosts events and programs to increase student-alumni relations. We hope that strong student-alumni ties will lead to more involved alumni and well rounded students. Our organization consists of a Board of Directors with seven elected officials ranging in year and major. As a group, board members lead four committees of ambassadors (Internal, Advancement, Alumni Outreach, and Marketing) that plan and execute organization events. As of the 2022-2023 school year, ESAA in collaboration with Advancement for the Grainger College of Engineering has planned and contributed to numerous internal and external events including Alumni Speaker Events, the UIUC Homecoming Meet & Greet, and Grainger College of Engineering's Day of Appreciation.
Our Mission
ESAA's mission is to inspire University of Illinois alumni to be active within the Grainger College of Engineering. By attending organization activities, our ambassadors have the opportunity to expand their network, explore career opportunities, and be a part of an amazing, diverse community that is Grainger Engineering.
Our Vision
Our vision is to bring together engineering students of all focuses to learn from and appreciate University alumni. We hope to create abundant and mutually beneficial relationships between current and former students for the sake of education and innovation while also contributing to the Grainger College of Engineering. Believing that strong relationships between undergraduates is equally important, the hope of ESAA is to form an accepting, tight knit community of ambassadors.
