Join an SAC committee

SAC Committee members play an integral part in shaping WSU Campus Culture through the planning and execution of major events.

How do I join?

We offer two ways for you to get connected with our SAC Committees:

  1. Complete our Member Interest Form and indicate which committee you are interested in joining. Our VP of Membership will reach out and connect you with the Chairperson and their next committee meeting.
  2. Stop by any SAC Committee Meeting to get connected. It may seem intimidating but our Chairperson will make sure you feel welcome and will connect with you individually after the meeting.

Committee Meetings

Committee meetings are held weekly and you may join at any time during the year. As a committee member you help to plan, market, and execute SAC events and experiences!

How much time should an SAC member expect to commit?
Members can expect to spend about two hours each week supporting SAC. One hour is for the weekly committee meeting and the other hour may include hosting an info table, distributing marketing, or staffing an event.
How are SAC events funded?
Funding for the Student Activities Council is made possible by the Student Services Support Fee which is allocated by the Student Government Association. This fee is collected from every degree-seeking student per credit hour. More about Student Fees.
Do SAC events cost money to attend?
SAC strives to keep our events free to all students. Exceptions include road trips and ticketed events like concerts and/or speakers. 
Are SAC events open to the public?

The truth is, it depends. SAC prioritizes WSU students when planning any events. Most events require students to scan their WSU ID for admission or to participate. Many of our ticketed events and entertainers are open to WSU students, faculty/staff, and community.
