In 2004 a small group of alumni together with the University of Toronto, Department of Sociology formed the SAA. Our mission is to maintain an inclusive and vibrant association that actively promotes and supports the Department of Sociology by offering opportunities for alumni to re-connect and to participate in social as well as educational events with fellow alumni, students, department staff and the wider university community. We hope that this association will add value to both the alumni and the student experience and we actively encourage the involvement of all students and former sociology students.
Learn about our activities and join in the conversation on our Facebook page.
