National Alumni Association
The National Alumni Association is open to all graduates of Philander Smith University and strives to keep graduates engaged with the institution.
Through National Alumni Chapters across the country, the NAA organizes graduates and former students who reside in a city or in close proximity, into a unified body affiliated with the National Alumni Association. It is the vehicle which fosters the advancement of the University and programs which directly influence higher education. Efforts and services rendered in the name of a Philander Smith University Alumni Chapter help to strengthen the image and recognition of the University in a particular local community.
