Executive Board
The Student Alumni Relations Board, or SArb, is a group of 89 students who has connected students and alumni through Vandal Pride and tradition since its creation in 1969. SArb plans and hosts many events throughout the year. Many of these events celebrate U of I traditions, while others may bring opportunities to explore what it means to be a part of the Vandal Family.
Our Vision: To keep the Vandal Family connected within and beyond the borders of Idaho.
Our Mission: Enrich the experience of all University of Idaho students, protect U of I traditions and history, build Vandal Pride, educate and inspire life-long commitment to our Alma Mater.
