Students, your alumni journey starts now.
While you may not be a graduate just yet, you can begin building lifelong Cardinal connections by joining the Student Organization for Alumni Relations (SOAR).
SOAR gives UofL students the opportunity to connect with alumni, strengthen professional skills and help lead university-wide philanthropic initiatives and events. Through networking, mentorship and hands-on leadership experiences, SOAR enhances the student experience while fostering pride in UofL traditions and promoting a culture of student philanthropy.

Members also serve as hosts for alumni events and can connect with alumni mentors, creating valuable relationships that can last well beyond graduation.
SOAR is also the proud sponsor of the UofL Bucket List, designed to help students make the most of their time on campus and experience all that UofL has to offer.
