One of the most distinctive aspects of the SAAHE program is that is operates on a cohort basis, which allows approximately 15 students to enter each fall and to progress together throughout the entire program. This unique structure cultivates support, encouragement, and friendships from the moment that the SAAHE experience begins.
Connections are also developed with other staff and colleagues at Texas A&M University through assistantship opportunities, practica and the Student Affairs Connections program. Finally SAAHE connections are expanded through networking with former SAAHE students, faculty and staff at national conferences and on the SAAHE-L Listserv.
