OUR RESPONSIBILITIES

How We Represent You

The Student Advisory Committee (SAC) is a student group established within each academic unit to promote communication and interaction among students, faculty, staff, and administrators. SACs are both a social and academic organization within their academic unit, and as such, they advance involvement opportunities, encourage participation in departmental activities, and work together with others to build campus community.

Music is more than just sound—it’s a community, a shared passion, and a force that connects us all. I want to strengthen our network, open doors to new opportunities, and ensure every musician feels supported. Together, let’s build a thriving musical community.

Sarah Kelly

Dear School of Music Students, 

I am excited to announce my candidacy for re-election as the Undergraduate Chair of the Student Advisory Committee. As Undergraduate Chair, I have been honored to advocate for our student body through direct service on the FAF Grants Committee, Service on the College Council, and acting as liaison between students, faculty, and administration. I have worked to promote transparency, support student-led initiatives, and strengthen the influence of our student voice in school-wide decisions. If re-elected, I am committed to building on this foundation by continuing work with student groups to facilitate well-written grant proposals, fostering greater student engagement, and ensuring that every student’s concerns are heard and addressed with diligence and respect. 

I look forward to continuing to represent you and advancing the excellence of our School of Music.

Alec Stevens

I will approach this responsibility with fairness and transparency. Thank you for your consideration.
