OOzeball, UConn's messiest tradition, started back in 1984. We're celebrating our 40th anniversary tournament this year with the theme "Wizard of OOze" on Saturday, April 22. Registration closed April 14, but spectators are welcome the day of the event (and for free!). You can also find more information at oozeball.uconn.edu.

Who are we, and why join?

The Student Alumni Association is a team of student leaders who seek to foster student-to-student and student-to-alumni connections. We host events throughout the year including the infamous OOzeball Mud Volleyball tournament and Alumni Networking events.

Joining SAA will allow you exclusive opportunities to speak personally with accomplished members of our UConn Alumni community. We are seeking members who strive to be a part of a close, friendly, and inviting group of students who value leadership opportunities and connection.
