Young Alumni Society (YAS)

The Young Alumni Society (YAS) is an open organization for SLU LAW alumni who graduated in the last 10 years.

YAS aims to connect recent SLU LAW graduates to the School of Law, the legal community, and each other through professional development and social activities.

Most YAS events are local to the St. Louis area. Young alumni who live in other areas are invited and encouraged to attend regional alumni receptions.
