As the School of Family Life Student Association, we recognize that to
transform the world, we must first change ourselves. Therefore, our
mission is to unite our student body, research and reveal professional

assisting students in securing their future in an effort to change the
world one person at a time. We hope to accomplish this mission by:
- Fostering one-on-one involvement with professors
- Increasing awareness of diverse research opportunities
- Educating students of job opportunities available with a SFL degree
- Improving student knowledge of academic internships and professional opportunities
- Uniting students and facilitating collaboration in a fun and educational setting
