Attending Events
SAC's mission is to provide events and activities that meet the diverse cultural, education, recreational, and social needs of UH Hilo students. Students who have paid the student activity fee are able to participate and attend in all SAC events. You can find out more about upcoming SAC events by visiting our Events & Announcements page.
Though the student activity fee is a mandatory campus based fee the Council has been working to provide a range of virtual and in-person events so UH Hilo students regardless of location can participate.
Event Funding
The Student Activities Council (SAC) Event Funding serves as an opportunity for UH Hilo Registered Independent Student Organizations (RISOs) and Campus Programs/Units to request financial support to develop their programming and services enriching student life at UH Hilo. The campus-based and opt-in Student Activity Fees are collected and expended following the SAC's mission and philosophy. Although providing funding is not part of the SAC's missions and, therefore, not required, the SAC does recognize the contributions that these groups provide and their positive impact on student life at UH Hilo. If your organization would like to apply for funding please visit the SAC Event Funding web page.
