The counseling psychology program at the University of Missouri-Columbia was selected to host the Student Affiliates of Seventeen (SAS) Executive Board from 2019 to 2022 and will complete its tenure at the conclusion of the 2022 APA Convention. This report outlines the work of the SAS Executive Board from 2021 through 2022, while also reflecting on three themes that have emerged over the course of our 3-year term: 1) Fostering Connections, 2) Social Justice and Advocacy, and 3) Organizational Development. A description and rationale for each theme will be provided in addition to a review of the activities that align with each theme. The SAS tri-chairs also provide a reflection on the challenges of leading amidst a pandemic and the potential impact of the pandemic on student engagement.
