The Students and Alumni of Color Symposium (SAOC) seeks to bring together students and alumni of the Woodrow Wilson School in common cause to promote racial diversity, establish productive mentoring relationships, discuss ideas relevant to the social, political, and professional development of students of color, and support the social and political development of communities of color. SAOC sponsors an annual weekend symposium for members to meet, network, and learn from members' diverse and common experiences, backgrounds, and professional aspirations.
