If you have never heard of them, been to an event they\u2019ve put on, or at least seen the Student Activities Council (SAC) logo on a flyer at Centre by now, there is a high probability you\u2019ve been living under a rock.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe function of SAC is to plan over 50 events on campus each year to reach as much of the campus as possible,\u201d Vice President of Administration and senior Rachel West said. \u201cWe keep up certain campus traditions, like Homecoming and Carnival, and try to do new, innovative events to provide a social outlet for Centre students\u2026 Most importantly, we\u2019re about having fun,\u201d West explained. \u201cI got involved with SAC because I\u2019ve always been interested in event planning, and planning events that the campus would enjoy seemed like something fun to do\u2026 I stayed because it\u2019s fun to work with all the people in SAC, and to hang out at all the events.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both West and SAC President, senior Chris Elmlinger, believe that the function of SAC on Centre\u2019s campus is a vital one. \u201cSAC provides programming to the entire student body, completely free of charge. We have a big budget that we love to use by putting on events that the students of Centre can enjoy,\u201d Elmlinger said.<\/p>\n

SAC has already put on a plethora of events this year, such as bringing in an airbrush artist to make personalized T-shirts at the first CC After Dark event. They have also hosted tailgates for athletic events, brought comedian Derek Hughes to campus for Family Weekend, and co-hosted Breck Beach Lawn games. In the past few years, SAC has hosted concerts with acts such as Girl Talk and Eric Hutchinson, semi-formals, hypnotists, the Silent Disco, a Murder Mystery Dinner, and Live Band Karaoke.<\/p>\n

SAC hosts such a large variety of different events because they recognize and appreciate the huge diversity of interests on campus. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to make the campus more fun and make sure everyone has events that they enjoy attending. You should care about SAC because you care about having fun, about being playful and meeting new people, and having a good time,\u201d West said.<\/p>\n

Every SAC event is open to the entirety of the Centre community, but West and Elmlinger both encourage Centre students to be active in the planning process as well.<\/p>\n

SAC hosts a General Session meeting once a month that is open to all students, and those more interested can join a specific committee. \u201cMy favorite part about being in SAC is working with the other students in SAC. People stay in SAC because they genuinely love the events and love making sure other people are having a good time. They\u2019re just a fun bunch to spend time with,\u201d West said.<\/p>\n
