As the spring semester draws to a close, many students will be graduating and moving on from school to the next chapter of their lives. Being a part of an SSDP chapter is a defining part of many students’ college experiences, I know it certainly was for me! The recently launched SSDP Alumni Association aims to provide a framework for SSDPers to continue developing as leaders and professionals, advocating for an end to the drug war, and staying connected to their peers who share that passion after leaving school.
Today SSDP is kicking off our second annual Alumni Association Membership Drive! Each day this week, we’ll feature a blog post written by an alum serving in a leadership position on a variety of topics: from individual SSDP stories to becoming more involved as an alum, to the story of The Wets, and more! The purpose of this membership drive is, of course, to invite SSDP alumni to join the Alumni Association, and it’s our goal to add 50 new members before Friday. It’s also an opportunity to reflect on your time as an undergrad in SSDP, share your favorite memories, and reconnect with the SSDP network.
Already a member of the Alumni Association? Great! Show your support by sharing your SSDP stories, #tbt photos, etc. with the hashtag #SSDPalumni and by changing your Facebook profile picture to this. Not yet a member? Join us today!

PRIZES
To make things a bit more interesting, everyone who completes enrollment in the Alumni Association before 11:59pm EST this Friday, May 20th will be entered to win one free registration to SSDP2017: The Annual Students for Sensible Drug Policy Conference taking place in March 2017 (an official announcement about the conference will be coming in the next couple weeks). Those who completed enrollment anytime since the program launch will also be entered to win. AND the alum who recruits the most new members this week will also receive a free conference registration. So, be sure to remind those you invite to mention your name in the “referred by” field!PARTICIPATION
