As demonstrated by the swelling ranks of active student groups, Hopkins students pursue a wide variety of interests. From allowing casual involvement on a favorite sport, to building public awareness of a closely-held belief; between lectures from controversial speakers, and opportunities to explore spiritual paths, the creativity and energy of these organizations manifests in many ways and is vital to sustaining a dynamic campus.
The responsibility of the SAC board is to decide how to distribute funding to this diverse set in order to maintain and improve campus life. This involves an on-going refinement of our policies as new issues arise, as well as a continual attention paid to the central principle of "impact' in terms of depth and breadth among students.
For this coming year, the first priority remains to provide a group with the necessary resources to carry out their purpose, while maintaining the fiscal responsibility with which we are entrusted by other groups seeking funding. Additionally, an on-going dialogue between the board and student groups is central to the board's ability to reflect the interests of the student body in its considerations.
