SAAB Is Proud To Introduce SAAS

It brings me great pleasure to announce the launching of Student African American Sisterhood National Organization, Inc. (SAAS), a nonprofit established to foster the personal development, academic achievement, and community investment of our members. SAAS seeks to positively impact the lives of its membership through creating supportive networks among African American and Latina females, encouraging and assisting with personal and professional development, and providing strategies for educational attainment and success.

The SAAS organization began on the campus of Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis in 2004 and since has had significant success in developing a sisterhood that truly encompasses academic excellence, leadership, service to the community and relationships with other black and brown sisters. We are truly creating a sisterhood of distinction! For this reason, we have been preparing to share our program development with colleges and high schools nationwide. It is our goal to spread the success of the SAAS Chapter by launching chapters that support the mission of SAAS National.

Please take some time to review the SAAS National website at www.saasnational.org to gain a deeper understanding of the organization as well as how to bring SAAS to your institution!

The SAAS Motto is: We are sisters on the same journey, empowering one another through social unity, academic excellence, leadership and support – we are a sisterhood of distinction and together we will rise!

I look forward to sharing additional information with you. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via e-mail at kashabazz@saasnational.org or 317-496-7734.
