The Student Activities Council (SAC) is a student-led organization that creates activities for the Urban Campus. These events are planned and heavily influenced by our student members, which have default positions as council members but also have the opportunity to take an official position, such as President, Treasurer, and Marketing Officer. Council members vote on matters that pertain to our events, and financing decisions that impact other student organizations on Urban Campus. Our events are for all students, so we welcome you to enjoy our events, and any ideas you may have.
