The Student Advisory Council (SAC) is the Dean’s level service body representing all academic units and relevant RSOs at both graduate and undergraduate levels. They are currently looking for new members from a variety of academic units, including one student from the PoE, to join.

The mission of the SAC is to act as a voice for the student population in the College of the Environment. Council members provide communication pathways between themselves, their student communities, and the Dean’s Office. By regular advising, dialogue, and collaboration with the Dean and Associate Deans of the College, the SAC provide recommendations on issues such as, but not limited to, College-level budgets, new initiatives, policies, and planning that affect students such as curriculum, communications, and DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion).

Members serve 1-year terms (Autumn – Spring) with a second year reappointment possible. The total annual commitment is to attend 3-4 meetings per quarter, except summer (typically 90-minutes plus some preparation for meetings). To serve on the SAC, students must be making satisfactory progress in their degree program at time of application and throughout their service on the council. For more information about the SAC see the profiles
of current members and the SAC webpage.

To apply: please complete the online application by Sunday, April 21st. Applications for the 2024-2025 College of the Environment Student Advisory Council will be reviewed by current members of the Student Advisory Council, who will make appointment recommendations to the Dean. Successful candidates will be notified of their appointment the week of May 6. All applicants should be prepared to attend the May 21 SAC meeting (4:30-6:30 PM).
