Signature SAA Events
Echo from the Buttes
Each year, first-year students are invited to hike up historic ‘A’ Mountain and paint the A white to signify the start of a new school year. As one of the longest-standing ASU traditions hosted by SAA, this event is the perfect opportunity for students to meet and connect while marking their place in our beloved Sun Devil community.
Homecoming Parade
Homecoming is an ASU tradition that brings together students, families, alumni and the community to celebrate Sun Devil spirit. During the parade, SAA members navigate a float and march through the heart of campus on University Drive, engaging with hundreds of Sun Devil fans.
